Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC

Delta Screemer writes "What good are ceiling tiles when it comes to making a computer quieter? Well, Max Page of FrostyTech has found a use for 'Melamine Foam Sound Absorbing Ceiling Tiles' as a cheap way of lowering the noise a computer produces. By lining the insides of a computer with these $3 24"x24" industrial office panels he was able to quiet a computer by several dBA. That may not sound like much (pun intended), but when you compare the price of these melamine foam panel to products like Dynamat the price difference is substantial."

    Have you been dipping them in Grape Kool-Aid, perhaps to give your tea bag some flavor?

    If so, then it is normal for your scrotum to be purple.

    Any other purple discoloration would be abnormal.

    Come to think of it, dipping your sack in Kool-Aid may be abnormal, too.
