It's for soundproofing an apartment (condo), but some ideas should be applicable to what we do (esp. if you enclose your entire PC like I've done in the past :D).

Thanks, cool article.
I'd like to know how to do the same with a house!
The biggest 'noise holes' are the windows and doors, windows being the worst.

I wonder if that Green Glue would be useful in a PC. It says it needs to be applied between two stiff layers. What if you did something like this: PC case, Green Glue, mass-loaded vinyl (such as McMaster part number 54665T32 page 3397)?

Too bad it's only sold by the case.

Are there are dozen people willing to go in on an order with me and split the price? :)

Nice to see a link to SOS - I frequently point people over there in this direction...
