So um... yes my pump runs quietly, but only if it somehow isnt creating some huge vibrations against my case. Right now I have it resting on a rectangularoid thingy of cardboard, but every once in awhile, it gets out of position and creates a huge racket.

I think i've see like these 4 screw thingies that you can mount the pump on with rubber spacers? Where can I get those in the US?

And yes, I've heard that old mouse pads work fantastic, but I dont have any around to use :P

Any other good methods of making sure the pump stays where it is supposed to be, and make it so it doens't vibrate like crazy would be greatly appreciated.

I use the 1260 which vibrates alot more than yours. I used some neoprene made 4 holes in it and screwed into the bottom of the case now it is 100% quiet :)

My 1250 is mounted vertically with these "silentblocs" and completely silent:

Does the bolt go completely through the rubber? or is each side of the bolt truely isolated?

A log of companies sell those rubber grommets as 'isolaters', but if the bolt stem goes completely through, its not going to do any good.

There you go ;) put them on platform and mount your pump to them :) they flex nicely so vibrations will be minimal :)

That was exactly what I was looking for, but where did you get them?
