Sound dampening rubber caskets

Post by CoolGuy90 » Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:37 am

What are some good 120mm dampening caskets that reduce vibrations caused by the case fans?

There are several makers out there. I have used these http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/fan_gaskets.asp, and also the arrowhead type mounts without being able to discern any great difference between the two. Either is better than screwing fans directly to cases.

What would you use a 120mm casket for? Pet hamster die?

As far as I know, all caskets have some sort of dampening. :roll:

Seriously, any soft material will work. I use small wedges of headliner fabric (felt and foam sandwich) at the corners between the fan and case. Works just fine and costs nothing as I just use scraps of leftovers from the rest of my cases.
