Home Brew Hard Drive Silencer/Cooler

Good lord people, how loud are your computers that you're constantly on the search for the best way to reduce the noise level to where you could hear a pin drop in the next room? I can think of about 900 things I'd rather spend a measly $12 on before I spent it on hushing up my hard drive. I've got two completely un-silenced, crappy airflow, non-uber systems in my room at home and have never once even thought about having to quiet things down. Overclocking, cooling, video cards, sound cards, I can understand wanting to eek out the most performance, but the whine of a hard drive? WTF?
The whole thing sounds kind of anal to me.

I am one of many. My idea is not unique, nor do I expect my voice alone to sway you. I speak in a chorus of opinion.
asynthotic.
yeah right -- NOT EVEN CLOSE! You must have
heard someone use the right word and never bothered
to look it up to know what it means.
asynthotic... geez!
everyone: let's just make up words we can't spell now. ok?
Feed pigs to muslims.
I don't even use hard drives. I just keep 30 Chinese teenagers in my basement and force them to memorize numbers.
Hard drive silences you!
