If your computer makes a lot of noise, and you do not know how to decrease the noise production, you might mant to read this.

Although most of the noise in a computer is produced by fans, a small but considerable amount is produced by hard drives, floppy drives and CD-ROM drivers. To decrease to noise these drives produce, you can simply place a rubber ring on the screw which holds the drive in place. This rubber ring will absorb most of the vibrations produced by the drive, and will prevent these vibrations from spreading through the rest of the case. As you might know, vibrations in your case will cause noise, and I you take away these vibrations, there is less noise. Finally, I would like to note that some of my friends noticed a significant decrease in noise after placing these rubber rings!
