Power supply isolator
anybody has any experience with the magicvent?
Here's an image if you want/need to avoid the pdf (though the pdf gives more details and pics).
I don't have any experience with it, but most systems would run hot with that limited exhaust space. You won't have any convection cooling from the lower exhaust fans/holes. I guess a PSU-only-exhaust system might find some noise reduction, but lower noise fans (ie modding the PSU) and proper case ventilation would make a happier system, IMO.

Yeah, carlitosz, you should say "Power supply muffler".
An isolator will isolate vibrations from being transfered.
Here is an "attempt" at a power supply isolator:

I am using that "power supply muffler" from Directron. It's made of a soft, rubber/jelly like material.
One problem with this product is that it covers up some of the holes on my FSP350-60PN (the power supply with 120mm fan). It may make a slight difference, but I think you'd probably do just as well by putting some decent grommets in your power supply mounting holes.
I will post a pic of that product on the Fortran 350w later today...
