how well would that work, if i used the mounts on the bottom of the apparatus, to remove vibrations? i see the 4 rubber encased screws that the hdd + cooler would stand on can remove some vibrations for sure, but would it completely silence my hdds?
if thats the case would i even have to buy this somewhat costly accessory? when all i really will gain from it is the rubber stands? are those purchasable somewhere else? to screw into hdds at the bottom? come to think of it, do hdds normally have 4 screw hole mounting points on the bottom of their frame?
anyway

i wanna get my drives outta the hdd cage simply cuz its metal screws slid into plastic rails mounted on a metal cage. so its noisy. i AM very wary about actually removing the cage for fear of losing a lot of the case stability (tho i guess the side panels when on, provide some of the stability too).
dont really think i have 5.25 bay space to mount up top. i would jsut sit 2 drives side by side going from front to back in the zalman cooler. IF it will remove all the vibrations and noise.
