    CD Rom drives vibrating REAL bad with Antec Case SLK3700AMB...

    The CD drives (especially the top one) vibrate so damn bad in this case it's not even funny, it gets so loud that whenever I play games that use the CD it constantly is buzzing and whirling the whole time. How can I stop this from happening? I know the screw is in there very tight but I don't think there is anything else I can do. The rubber washers that are already in the case wont fit, and because it's a slide in thing, I don't think I can put any on there. Anyone know what to do? Thanks...

    well, with my old antec case it was possible to put the anti vibration washers on my mounting screws, so you may want to give it a shot. However, i'm not too sure what your SLK3700AMB's mounting system is like, so i can't give exact advice. But i can advise you to just shut that drive door when you're playing games maybe slapping on some akasa noise dampening pads on the actual cdrom would work too...gotta experiment

    My CD rom drive is real loud as well. I have an antec case dunno if its that or just that lite on drives are loud. Neways I use no-cd hacks on all my games cause im too lazy for cds so i never really have to use cd's accept for burning and installing stuff. Might wanna try that.
