The rubber supports for the harddrives help quite a bit. Also the
newer HDs are quieter.

any tips to reduce the mechanical noise coming from a pc?
I tried out low noise fans but still not enough. Noise is coming from
hard drives too.

Ale,

We just updated our remote recording PC with a "Tsunami Dream" case

The fans and drive bays are all mounted on cushy rubber grommets which
helps to keep radiated noise at a minimum. The mfr rates fan noise at
21 dBA. I can say that it's -very- quiet and well built.

A guy I work with has a son who is building water-cooled PC's for
studio use. Here's his link:
