Very disappointed with this product
I bought a QuietPC in December 2020 and chose an option with one mechanical drive (Seagate), the rest solid state. I've never heard a mechanical drive make this much noise before but the website did warn me that any mechanical drive would make noise.
Today I finally got around to unscrewing the back cover of the cabinet and the reason there is so much noise is a mistake in the build. A small slat in the metal plate on which the segate drive is vertically mounted is not put into place. It makes the whole metal plate vibrate continously. As far as I can tell, it requires a complete disassemble to fix.
I'm very disappointed that a company with quiet PCs as their selling proposition lets a build go with a mistake any visual inspection could catch. And there's a certain irony in attaching a drive with silencing rubber around the screws to a loose metal plate which vibrates like rain on a tight drum.
