thermaltake xaser and foam

[Gianluca_Venezia]

I am waiting for thermaltake xaser III.

In order to diminish the noisiness, even if I have read in the
newsgroup not to be then therefore high, I wanted however to apply to
foam material in all the parts "not grilled" of the case. This in
order to reduce of some decibel the noisiness, absorbing more possible
sonorous waves and reducing of the effect in resonance.

Still not having seen a case from the alive, and not understanding
from the photographies, I wanted to know if someone has already
specific experience to care or if, having even seen it from the alive
one, thinks possible install foam that I have in mind.

Bye, Gianluca

(and sorry for my english...)

That case doesn't resonate much at all, the majority of the noise will
be from the fans, not vibrating the case if they're well-balanced, but
because they're openings to the outside world, and a source of noise
themselves If you find a fan to vibrate the case, replace the fan
with one better-balanced.

The foam material should be bonded to the larger sheets of metal,
which include: Case floor, left and right side-panels, and top. The
left side panel will likely make the most difference. Any oher parts
vibrating (like the HDD cage or bezel faceplates) might be quieted by
slightly bending the metal or application of foam tape.
