    i have an inverter for a bloo neon string that makes a really high pitch noise and apparently this is normal.

    Im planning on using this with my new ITX silent download machine but its not much use it i cant hear the pc but CAN heard the inverter!! :sigh:

    what do you multi-modders do to silence these things?

    put it on a switch, and then you can turn it off when you want it, and turn it on when you dont.

    would a large amount of bubble wrap do? It wont overheat and melt though will it? The whole point of the machine is that i can leave it unattendeed when im asleep/ @ work as i dont 100% trust my Vapochill to not burn my flat down :worried:

    i had mine wrapped in some thin foam stuff that came wrapped around my monitor connector when i bought my monitor...

    it didn't seem to get hot at all. in fact, now i check, its wrapped in a load of bubble wrap too!



    my house hasnt burned down yet, but im not saying yours wont.

    Put it in a plastic project box with some felt or foam. It'll look nicer too.

    Another vote for a box (clear plexi-boxes are cool, then you can light them up with LED's as well :clap: )

    The dude that did the lighted keyboard mod made the brightness adjustable and therefor controlling the amount of sound. I imagine foam would also work:D
