Please log in for more thread options Probably about as much damage as you walking around in the room, granted the car is probably on longer than you walk. Put a thin piece of foam under the PC. If there are vents on the bottom which I doubt, then don't block them. Put a piece of thin wood or such on top of the foam for the PC to sit on. Can't be thick foam, the PC may tip over. But something 1/8" - 1/2" might give a small amount of shock proof. It can't hurt, and if you feel better, then its worth it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Around these parts, sounds amplified with a sufficient enough volume to be heard inside of one's home are considered a breach of the peace, and will be responded to by law enforcement. If it was me I would just let them handle it; there really is no excuse for assaulting people with that type of sonic radiation. Jon | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

So if we were to call the police, they wouldn't get here in time to hear the noise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
