[Eric R. Pizzani]

Hey all,
Also worth nothing is trying to 'insulate' the machine. Someone had  
made a wooden box with the front and back exposed for your typical  
ATX boxes, except it was lined with carpet.
Presumably the carpet damped the sound. I guess this is also worth  
trying. Since the machine ventilates through the back you shouldn't  
have much of a problem with it heating up.

Worth thinking about at least.

Eric.
