Though I've a full tower aluminum case, and they're mounted in rubber O rings for isolation. (They really do help).
Hello,
Can you give me a bit more info on those O rings? I'm guessing they're optional, but would like to know more.
Thanks

Rubber grommet (example).
A search and some patience should turn up other sources as well.
Hope this helps.
That one's simple.Thanks!
Didn't think it would be that simple!

But there's quite a few other solutions available as well. It just depends on the specific application (location, clearances,...). But I find the grommets are simple and rather inexpensive, so I use them when I can. 
Yeah, I dunno if it would help in Mac Pro's thick aluminum case but acoustic foam velcro'ed in the right places of a typical tin or plastic case can make a pretty big difference. Velcro tape make's it removable so you can wash the dust out of it during your regular cleanings.
