I’ve been a long time lurker here on SPCR and I finally decided to bite the bullet and make a profile. Right now I consider my rig to be pretty quiet but the biggest annoyances are the spinning and seek noises caused by my hard drive. I’ve searched the forums of many sites but there’s never any talk of quieting the hard drives. I’ve tried suspension before in other cases but I’m afraid that it wouldn’t work here because of the way the hard drives are held in the bay.
So my question is, has anyone had any experience in quieting the HD’s in one of these cases by means of suspension or some other method?

My case is a different Lian Li, bu the principle should be the same. Yes, there is a way to suspend them in the 3.5" bays. Use some elastic cord twisted around the hard drive. You may need to drill out the rails that the rubber washers are supposed to do, but it is easy and works well. Made a very big difference in the sound coming from my sistem. Essentially it silenced the hard drive completely.
