Anti vibration HDD mount

[Roooker]

Hi,
right now i have installed my storage HDD in on of my 5,25 bays to be able to remove the hard drive cages. Fair enough i was happy with how i did it.

I just bought a .7 mm thick piece of metal and bent it to a |_| shape and drilled some holes in it. Voila everything fits together and done. But the vibration my HDD is creating in my case is driving me NUTS and it dont look very nice It is the loudest part in my PC right now and i want to replace it with some "proper" mounts.

I have been searching the web for the past 30 mins and found some, but they all look either bulky or just complete BS with special color designs and shapes.
Do you guys know of a cheap and plain anti vibration bracket to mount a 3,5" HDD in a 5,25" slot ?

Not sure if you can buy them in Germany, but these should do the trick

Hello.
Why not just buy any mount that you like the look of (or even use the one you already have) and use anti vibration/rubber standoffs to mount the drive to it?

If you wanted to be really anal, you could put something like a think foam between the mount and the case along with anti vibration screws.

Yes i want to be really anal about the anti vibration function. It has to be a real proper anti vibration mechanism and not just a small rubber washer. And about the look, it is not crutial because you almost can't see them at all.
