[olug] quiet PC - how to do this?

[Brandon Lederer]

For those who don't know, I do car audio as well.  I will attest that Dynamat 
has products to deaden metal.  Ring a bell,  it rings.  Put dynamat on it, 
and its just is a "tink".  No ringing.  Dynamat extreme (a sheet of tar-like 
rubber material) will work well on a computer case, I know people who have 
done it.  Dont be worried about the tar-like material and heat.  It 
withstands 100+ temps in a car.

NOTE:  Your computer case acts like a heatsink to the ENTIRE PC.  By covering 
the inside with some non-heat conductive material... you could possibly 
increase the temperature within case.  But you can run your fans louder, 
because they wont resonate on the case (the ROOT of the problem).
