Ideas for making a soundproof box for MacMini?

.

MacMinis are quiet, but they have a fan, and that fan makes noise that is audible from the listening chair.

Ideas for a simple soundproof "box" (if I recall correctly, in cinematography this is called a "blimp") and soundproofing materials that in combination still allow for the Mini to "breathe" adequately and eliminate the fan noise?

Something that is cost-effective would be nice.

Your ideas and experience are appreciated,

:) listening,

Ed

Sidssp... yeah, I was thinking all that, and I think you're right...

I spotted some sound foam on the net and think I'll give it a try. It's called AcoustiPack™ ULTIMATE PC Soundproofing Kit...

anyone have any experience with it?

Seems inexpensive enough ~$50... just wonder if it works in the situation you describe.

:) listening,

Ed

Don't know much about the AcoustiPack, never use it. I don't think you need to
spend $50 for a piece of foam. I would try some packing foam first, or even a
thick cotton towel might work.
