All,

I know a few of you have made your own computer enclosures with soundproofing
design to quiet the control room.
Do any of you still have the plans you used?
I am interested to see your designs and hear from you how they worked. I
am fixing to build a new control room desk and was going to incorporate a
computer enclosure in the bottom of it.
Thanks,

Brandon

I never found a good enclosure so my pc is on the other side of two walls
10" apart with 2 sheets of drywall on the outside of each wall. This is
totally silent. And the MEC is on a 20' SCSI cable. I would love a SILENT
enclosure.

First, if you check out http://www.quietpcusa.com/ and their intro page

http://www.quietpcusa.com/articles/how_to_silence_a_computer .html

doing nothing more than half of what's on that page will help a lot. It won't
make something silent but it will be awfully close. For truly silent computing
I recommend a Cat5 KVM box. This one is a hardware unit for under $900

http://www.42u.com/raritan-kx101.htm

and they can be had for a good bit less, this just happens to be the brand
we use where I work.
