| 108875 | 2002-12-25 03:39:00 | How much damage can i do to a working HDD by placing it is the same room as this? (something.orcon.net.nz) and its friend I only ask because i have my knee against the case with my Linux box in it and it is really shaking, as are the concrete walls, windows and furniture. Its great, but how will will the HDDs take it, i heard once they don't like vibration! .Clueless |

| 108877 | 2002-12-25 03:52:00 | This = the speaker shown in the picture?? - Clueless probably cranks up the volume each day and [judging by the size of that speaker] it has the potential for plenty 'a vibrations HDD's don't like getting moved/knocked/etc... hence the reason that experts suggest you plant your Computer in one place and leave it there for the rest of it's life :p I would reccomend "toning it down" a bit Clueless if the Computers' shaking/vibrating (unless the vibrations are been caused by extra cooling fans?), otherwise you may run the risk of shortening your HDD's lifespan Chuckie |

As long as it is about a metre away from anything it shouldn't be too bad - David p.s. well looking at the size of those things you would want it at least a metre away ;) |

| 108883 | 2002-12-25 05:04:00 | If I had the money, you could bet $1,000,000 with the Lottery Grants Commission that I'd go out and buy speakers even bigger than those. I can't say those speakers would be too good for your computer. Maybe you could mount the case inside a thick box lined with rubber, then put another smaller but similar box lined with rubber inside that, put your computer's case in the smaller box, and fill the rest up with rubber. Sure, you'd have to reach down there and scrabble for the power button each time you turn your comp on, but it'd reduce the vibrations. Otherwise place your HDD so it's suspended in the middle of your case by some wires, though that would cause problems if your computer got knocked (taut strings from all eight corners of the HDD to their corresponding corners of your comps case could solve this). |

| 108884 | 2002-12-25 05:12:00 | To those of you who remember 12" records and the likes.. theres a trick that i saw which had to do with hanging turntables so you dont get the needle bouncing during partys and the like. The trick is to hang all 4 corners from one central hook. You can smack the walls down with a sledgehammer and the turntable plays on. This was tested during some reinvations once. Maybe the same trick can be done with a HDD for "its own protection"? .Clueless |
