lol, it sounds like hes using what are termed "rubber grommets" which are crap compared to metal screws, but are meant to dampen the fans noise a bit.

Well they're certainly crap enough to break whenever touched but they do do the noise dampening bit well.

I don't believe I've ever seen a fan attached with those before, hmmm

My Antec P160 case came with them attached, imho they do work but they are very easy to break.

They do a bit, but you can get various types of dampers, such as this one by Vantec, which goes between the fan and the case

The best ones I have used, are these by Acoustifan, which go in the screwholes on the case,

although in the end, I find it easier and cheaper just to get quiet fans

Couldn't agree more mate

definately, they don't make a great deal of difference with loud fans and much less dofference with quiet ones. Near the bottom of things to try for a quiet pc. You can go the DIY approach and buy some foam earplugs - cut them in half and they do a similar job.

That depends on the case. Thin aluminium rattles like hell.

Earplugs definitely work if you go for the ghetto look.
