anybody know good sound dampening material / foam ? 

maybe not the foam marketed as computer sound dampening,  its way too expensive. Thanks

Don't use whatever Linus used

I don't really know much about how sound waves work but i'm pretty sure any kind of foam you can get will work

I've heard of sound dampening pads made for audio use, but I'm sure you can use that for the PC as well. Damplifier seems to be a good anti vibration material. You only need a small square and it should be rid of vibes and rattles.

What are you planning to use it on?

Do your cooling setup right and you wont need it. ;)

My two cents.

 

A friend of mine does professional noise isolation works (professional as in his measuring gear is easily worth over EUR 10k and works with the police). I told him about computer noise isolation and showed him the stuff I was going to use. He laughed at me, said it was ridiculous and that it wouldn't do much, not worth at all.

There are a tone of noise damping materials typically used for car audio systems like dynamat. you could get something like this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_14203_Accumat-AMT045X2-by-Scosche.html

 

im actually quite surprised that they don't use a mass loading damping material for silent cases, all foam does is muffle the sound where a mass loading damping materiel eliminates vibration which is the main source of noise
