There's a product used on cars, when repainting and when dealing with rust. I do not know what the product's actual name is, but it is often referred to as "rubber skin". Basically it's a spray can, which "paints" a rubber compound, used as a primer for paint, to avoid rust.

I was considering buying a can, and spraying the internals of my case with it, hoping that it would firstly give my internals a nice matte look, while also offering a minimum sound and vibration dampening effect.

Has anyone tried this and have any comments/suggestions/warnings?

This might be the stuff you are thinking of (though I haven't heard of using it as undercoat. It is essentially spray rubber which can deaden all your case rattles.

Great finds there guys, that looks like the stuff I am talking about.

I guess I'll have to go shopping tomorrow, and just buy a bucket big enough to dunk a cabinet in a few times... if I do it enough, maybe I can make the thing bounce if it falls over :)

The spray Plastidip is excellent stuff. Watch out for HDD cages, this rubber coating will make everything smaller--you'll be peeling this stuff off if components don't fit-- :eek:

I'd try and pick up the spray if you can, its easier to work with for a project like that.
