I agree! what happened to the fan ducts made of ramen, the duct-taped and zip-tied cooling fans, and the picture taped to the case instead of installing a case window?
this thread has earned 0/5 foodstamps lately. get back to your ghetto roots!
What you're seeing and thinking of here are the cheap mods, which are commendable for their money saving craftiness. This thread was started for and has lasted for over 1250 posts to showcase the kind of mods we create when we:Don't know what you are talking about. There's plenty of duct tape, cardboard, and packing foam on this page alone. Being ghetto is how to be lazy and save money using crap you have sitting around.
So the harddrive cage in the stacker 830 SE's create this annoying rattle that i've never heard with previous cases for my 74gb raptor and 200gb seagate. The rubber things don't even help The rattling drives me crazy, and its just soooooooo loud. I googled "hdd silencers" and Didn't really like what came up. A lot of them are very expensive too... like $30+. And I'd rather not pay $10-$15 for rubber screws... so heres what I thought up.
Those are extra shoe laces I had lying around! Absolutely ghetto, but it works, and works WELL! My hdd's are so much more quiet now... and theres no rattle at all. Only tiny vibrations when loading up some programs, but I barely notice it. Best thing i've ever done to my stacker, haha.

My Stacker 832 started rattling a TON when I put my Raptor in. I found out that the empty plastic fan mount in the top of the case was slightly loose, and that was what created the rattle. Once I removed that, and tightened the tabs on the side panels so they are nice and tight, my case doesn't rattle at all. Not even with 2 raptors and 6 other hard drives.
So yeah, make sure it isn't that stupid top fan grill rattling around.
Don't quote all the images.Nice dude Silent PC

I don't think I've ever heard hot and Minnesota in the same sentence before.
Paint the can. I'd atleast make it look a little better.

He needs to remember his roots and where the can came from.
or he needs to remember his beans in this case.
It's ghetto. Paint would look too nice
Lies in a box. It does't get hot up here.
