Thanks to the info here, my new gaming build is up a running and is much quieter than my old C2D setup.
I'm using a ps07 case and it is a little thin so more sound than I would like is still getting out. It's mostly airborne sound but it could use some dampening as well. I'm planning to get some damping material and I started to look at various foams. I inevitably ran across the threads referencing McMaster Carr. Most of the threads were from 2003-05 when McMaster would sell single tiles for about 5 bucks. Now, you can only buy packs of 8 and with shipping it is over $100!
Item 9216T1 At that price, prepackaged alternatives make a lot more sense (assuming they work).
I haven't seen any more recent posts about them so I'm curious if they are now obsolete. Does anyone still use them? Anyone know where to buy smaller quantities? Are options like acoustipack a better choice?
If these are still worth while, anybody interested in a local group buy? I'm in the East Bay Area, CA so hopefully there are some SPCR guys in the area.
