[Cube] Hard Drive Hum

[cubelover at mac.com]

Thanks to Jesse and Richard for your advice.  I've checked everything over and loosened and tightened all the screws (by the heatsink and the grille).  The hum is still less but it's not completely silent.  Kind of disappointing since one of my favorite things about the cube is its silence.  I'll spend some more time working on it this weekend, but I may end up going back to the old hard drive.  The background hum/drone is driving me crazy...

ok first off you need to make sure the drive is positioned in a way before tightening the screws that the drives heatsink doesn't touch the main heatsink of the cube, most of the faster drives i have tried in the cube vibrate and hum a bit in my cube. After the above mentioned movement the hum was less.
