Was thinking about getting some of these

My case tends to vibrate and I'd like to quiet it down a bit and saw these, do they really work?

These work best when the case is tranferring vibrations to the desk or to a wood floor, they don't help in making the case itself stop vibrating. When the case vibrates the best thing to do is soft-mount the fans and hard drives.

Well my case sits inside my desk on a piece of wood. So maybe that would be just what I need.

You can always use the highly scientific method of lifting the case up with your hands to see if the vibration stops. If it does, then you know the desk is amplifying the vibrations and these feet could help reduce it.

Sure they work.

I've used them quite a few times.

They can do wonders in some builds.

Antec puts them on the bottom of all of their cases AFAIK, so they must do something. Though the ones on my Antec 300 are harder than the ones on my SLK3000B.

OK just got them and installed them on my P180B. They did pretty much nothing

But at work I got a piece of packing foam, hard stuff and cut it to fit exactly under my case. Vibration gone

So I spent $10 when I could spent $0

Oh well live and learn...

Maybe the ones you got were too hard to be effective.

Seems like a more appropriate comment for Grandma . . . not that there's anything wrong with it . . .
