So I received a P4 2.4 GHZ inside of a early 2000s gaming case, one thing I hate about used computer cases is when they are missing their 5.25 or 3.5 drive bay covers, in this case, it bugged me so much I had to do something about it.
So I bought a Thermaltake iBOX for $7 which basically takes over a 5.25 bay and gives you a handy shelf.
I also bought a 3.5 USB hub that takes over empty floppy disk bays. It was $8
Another nifty thing I found was a hard drive silencer, I put it into my computer hooked up to my TV in the living room that had a kind of loud hard drive, I didn't get a great shot of it, but if you are interested go to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817984001
Its cool because it fit into my 5.25 drive bay and I put a cover over it, so in this pic you do not notice it.
But as I slide it out, you can see the rubber absorbers attached to my sliding thingies.
It helps a bit to keep the sound down, that hard drive is quite loud, but any additional vibration caused by the case has ceased.
Ways to fill in empty 3.5 floppy bays or 5.25 drive bays and silencing your hard drive
