The Antec P180 case from the side - not a great deal to see here! *

This picture shows the sliding cover between the PSU chamber and the maiboard chamber which I have put some sound proofing material on. You can partially see the PSU chamber containing additional soundproofing on the base. *

This shows the rear of the case with the supplied 120mm fan removed and the hole and the top of the case covered with acoustic foam to prevent noise from the CPU cooler escaping from the hole. The rear case fan has been fitted with a rubber gasket to reduce vibrations being transfered to the case. Additional soundproofing has been fitted to the rear of the case blocking the vents that would be used by the VGA cooler duct. *

This photo shows the soundproofing blocks put into the 5.25 inch drive bays and the spare 3.5 inch drive bay. I have removed the sliding HDD caddys in the centre bay to give an unrestricted and undisturbed airflow from the front 120mm case fan to the mainboard area. The top and bottom of the HDD caddy have been lined with acoustic foam to reduce noise.

I may actually remove the HDD caddy for better airflow - needs testing though!

This photo shows the PSU chamber and 120mm fan installed. The fan has been mounted with a 120mm rubber fan gasket to reduce vibration. Acoustic foam has been installed on the bottom of the case and around the vents at the back of the case to ensure all airflow is forced out of the PSU vents when fitted to hopefully reduce noise and to cool the PSU. *

This picture shows the Silverstone fan controller in place.

This picture shows the 2 side panels with the sound proofing applied.
