When I build my new pc I chose a Corsair Graphite 230T for the case. The orange color was very appealing to me and it looked good. Since it was from Corsair I thought the quality would be fine.

But after e few months of use I decided to put an optical hdd in it because the 250gb ssd was a bit on the short end. Maybe it is because I didn't use an optical HDD for a few months now and I'm used to a silent pc. But ever since I put a WD Blue 1TB in the case I cannot stand the vibrating noise the case is making (it is more noisy than my stock coolers on my h80i on balanced-mode and tohse things are pretty noisy). As for now I use the HDD for my Steam library so whenever im not gaming I use Revosleep to put the HDD in idle mode.

The case has no rubber buds or anything at the HDD-bay. The bays are in a clicking construction and the holes for the screws in the bay seems not to match the HDD holes.

Anyone experiencing the same problem? So yes what did you do to kill the noise?

Thanks in advance.
