Reducing Case Vibration

Case vibration is one of the main causes of noise in home-built PC's and the solution to the problem isn't that hard to solve.

a) Buy a real case that uses good quality sheet metal. recommended
b) Spend the money you saved buying that cheap ass case to buy some sound deadening material (i.e. Dynamat)

Dynamat's main purpose in life is to change the resonating frequency of material, in this sheet metal. The stuff is made out of a tar like substance that is easily shaped by heat and has a glued backing so it will adhere to just about anything. Not only does it stink up a storm but it will also make your case very heavy.

I will be addressing sound deadeners in my forth-coming case-modding how-tos.
