HDD Ghetto Mounting

[LachieUnderscoreSixOneNine]

What is a safe, anti vibration way to mount a HDD without HDD cages.

 

I want to completely free up space in the front of my Enthoo Primo with room for a 480 rad on the bottom, 240 rad on the front, 480 rad on the top still with some form of a place to hide my HDD.

 

Thanks

Best antivibration method ever is wide elastic strip 2 along sides and 1 top bottom dont know how to explain you suspend it on elastic strips BUT you need 1-2 cages of space so you have an ordinary middle tower(the antecgx700b at your specs?) i think you are out of luck you dont have any way to mount it you cant completely remove all HDD/DVD bays and expect to mount HDD somewhere else,theres no space for something like that,maybe if you make some extra modded mount near motherboard or near psu and mount with rubber washers but that will still transmit vibration iknow cause i tried.

What case are you going to use?its imposible in that antec to mount so much rads and have space for HDD's

Well thats nice case if you dont plant to completely remove all DVD bays you can use adapter or elastic straps, anti vibration wise straps work best in my experience i tried rubber washer, and mounting hdd on a bit medium-hard sponge nothing worked maybe kits like this work i never tried http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scythe-Anti-Vibrations-Mounting-Hard-Stabilizer/dp/B000VWH31Q

But since you said ghetto > straps
