Have you figured out what you want to accomplish? For example, my office machine was making too much noise for my liking. Here's what I did: - I repositioned it so that the exhaust fan bounced air off the wall at an angle, not straight-on. - I moved it off to the side, about four feet away from me. - I tightened all the internal screws. - I made sure the case was fastened snugly. - I put a piece of soft foam (about 1/8" thick) under the rear feet. Now it's much quieter. None of this cost me any money, or even much time. I also found a stand to put it under my desk, which made it much quieter from where I sit, but was slightly annoying. -dsr- -- Every time you give up a right, the terrorists win.
