Decoupling CD/DVD drive?

Post by MrMajestic » Sun May 11, 2003 11:29 am

Is it a good idea to decouple the CD/DVD drives? I'm not talking about suspending them in bungee cord, but maybe using EAR grommets.

MrMajestic,

I think it would make a lot of sense, but it's not trivial to do with many cases.

If you find a good way to do it, please report your experiences here.

regards,
Halcyon
