There have always been more than a few ways to quiet down noisy computers. Some techniques involve using advanced cooling devices, or lower powered processors which do not generate as much heat. But what do you do if you have an old computer you can't modify? After all, sound absorbing inserts inside the chassis will only go so far - exhaust ports are notorious for leaking higher levels of noise.

A Danish company by the name of Plasmic have one possible solution called the "Cocoon." The Cocoon as its' name imparts, is a sound proof cabinet that you place a standard computer into. Acoustic baffles, and other engineering on the inside keep noise down, yet still maintain the all necessary cooling factor. Noise dampening sits at 90% according to the manufacturer.
