One thing to remember on this is that many drives survive by conducting heat into the case. You put rubber in there (a very good insulator of both electricity and heat) and your drives are going to get hotter faster. Before you insert the rubber washers, feel the case and see how much heat is being dissipated into the case. AlanC -- PGP e-mail preferred, but not sent by default. Requiescas in pace o email
