[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 400825, member: 25562"] Thanks for all the input. Consolidating the active drives is probably a good idea. On my old system, if I had recording or timeshifting on the system driver, it seemed to cause I/O problems and stuttering. That should be less of a problem now, especially if I put it all on one of the 3gbps drives (when I had the problem, it was all IDE). Also, thanks for the idea about shock mounting. I joined SPCR a couple of weeks ago looking for just this kind of idea. In fact last night I bought a few different types of elastic band to start experimenting with a suspension system. As for the acoustic absorption mats, I have hesitated because I'm afraid they'll also thermally insulate the system. Have you had any trouble with heat? Or have you found that the added heat is worth it for the acoustic gain? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
