A friend asked me to install this kit on his computer but I have no Idea what are this pieces for. I have been searching for instructions or a how to but no results so far.

Could anybody brief me here, please?

Does the round things go between the HDD and the rack, or between the screw and the rack?
Are they useful also for the case?
What are the short pegs for?
And the long ones?
Many thanks in advance

Hi, have copied description from that website and added a note
# 12 x Gummislicks lang für Lüfter mit geschlossenem Rahmen - zur Entkopplung von Lüftern mit Standardbauform (2 x 4 Bohrungen im Lüfterrahmen)
-Is a rubber decoupler for the fan long, should be easy to spot how to use if you browse general gallery. Its fixed in screw hole for the fan then pulled into the fan, at least thats how i use them
# 12 x Gummislicks kurz für Lüfter mit offenem Rahmen - zur Entkopplung von Lüftern mit spezieller Bauform (1 x 4 Bohrungen im Lüfterrahmen)
-Is a rubber decoupler for the fan short, works like the long
# 8 x Entkopplungsringe und Schrauben für HDDs - zur Vibrationsdämpfung von Festplatten, die mittels Verschraubung montiert werden (NICHT mit Laufwerksschienen!)
-Rubber rings and screws for the HDD, i cant picture how to use it sorry, would estimate a bigger cage is needed? maybe a bigger hole? perhaps its suppose to inspire to DIY solutions
# 20 x Kabelbinder schwarz 80 x 2 mm - zur Fixierung von Kabelleitungen innerhalb des Gehäuses
-zip ties, can used for many things including cables as they suggest
# 4 x selbstklebende Gummifüße, z.B. für Gehäuse - für eine effektive Geräuschreduzierung von vibrationsübertragenden Gehäusen auf harten Oberflächen
-rubber feet, they suggest case
Hope it helped a bit

Okay. Maybe they changed the compound since I bough the kit.antonio wrote:It is not really hard, on the contrary quite rubbery and flexibleAuraAllan wrote:I remember buying a Cooltek silencer kit a few years ago. If I remember correctly the rubber is quite hard and won't reduce vibration very much.
Great to hear it worked out well for you.
