Alright, I have a problem. I have a crazy neighbor upstairs who is constantly complaining about the "vibration" (no, not the noise) of my Lian Li case. I bought this computer in April 2006 and had it in the computer room which is directly under the crazy neighbor. In December the vibrations of...

Tying in cell phones into a MMO would be a good idea IF it was done correctly. I don"t necessarily want the ability to go on a dungeon crawl on my cell phone, but if I could "log in" check my in-game mail, check my traders and do all the maintenance tasks you usually have to do the first 10-15...

The one thing the crazy neighbor readily admitted is that we were very quiet neighbors. We really are curteous neighbors--it was just such an odd situation made worse by repeated harrassment after we bent over backwords to try to resolve the "vibrations". I feel your pain dealing with deaf...

Boston area, just west of downtown. The vibrations usually happened when she wasn"t around and i was on the computer. When you couple that fact with the sex chair accusation that means I"m getting good solid of 4-5 hours "quality alone time" with the chair every other night for months.... I...

/cue theme music from "Rocky" We Won! We Won! The crazy neighbor is leaving at the end of June!

I"m not dead, honest! Nothing went on for the past 10 days because I finally went on my honeymoon to France (only 3 years after the actual date). I did have a nice and cheery voice-mail from the crazy-neighbor saying she put a package of ours inside the door (which she did). Maybe she has...

I can"t make any promises, but my wife"s 30th birthday is tomorrow. We have about 20 people coming over around 5pm for beer, burgers, more beer, hot dogs, and martinis. I doubt anythign will come from it, but who knows. I was expecting all of this drama to end in a huge confrontation where...

I wish there was more to add, but she hasn"t said a word to my wife or me. Nothing, zip, nadda. In fact she is even being polite--she left a voice message saying the landscapers moved our grill. /boggle I get the impression that our LL talked to her and kind of laid down the law. We are going...

Game on! I just returned home and I hear someone walking around upstairs...the crazy neighbor is back. I"ll keep everyone posted...

she is still away from the apartment--it is somewhat unprecedented. the lights still appear to be on upstairs--but it is very difficult to confirm during the day. here is a picture of what the crazy neighbor looks similar too, if you add the following... - braces - hair has bits of grey...

eerily quiet... We haven"t seen (or heard) the crazy neighbor for over a week now. I don"t know where she went but the LL seems to think she is probably with her father in TX. One wierd thing though. We know she isn"t home (because there is no sound from upstairs) but two nights ago we saw...

Sorry for the lack of updates...not a lot going on. As near as we can tell she left to go back to Texas for awhile, presumably to spend time with her father. I"m sure the drama will continue when / if she returns, but I doubt I will be privvy to the information because the situation has been...

I was actually advised to go through the LL on all of these matters. We will see how this plays out over the next couple of days.

The letter which I sent out today. The LL should have it by Thursday. I"m copying this by hand because the file is on another computer...so ignore the typos.

I still don"t quite belive this, but upon landing back in Boston today I had a voicemail from my LL. I gave him a call to get the latest update on the crazy neighbor... Last week we performed an indepently verified test to try to track down the vibrations. After going through every appliance...

My wife was messing with iTunes and I was conquering the world in Supreme Commander. We both had our speakers on, but they aren"t exactly top of the line (nor playing very loudly) because they are computer speakers.

The nice thing is that the LL has all but exonerated us from any sort of responsibility. So now we are just going about our business waiting for the e-mails from the crazy neighbor--personalized entertainment on demand...

Ladies and Gentlemen, the paranoia continues... (because we knew it wouldn"t stop) The following e-mails were sent to me by the LL to answer the questions... A second e-mail followed shortly after (well, in the early AM) *I"m kind of scared what it implies that the entire apartment is shaking...

It has been eerily quiet here on the homefront--very uneventful. There have been no e-mails and no phone calls (from her or the LL) in the past few days. I sincerely doubt the problem is solved from her end...I guess it is just a waiting game until she has another epsidoe. I"ll keep everyone...

Well round 1 is complete. Me- 1, Crazy Neighbor- 0 The LL and an impartial observer came down feel the vibrations. We went through every possible cause and combination. From setting the heat on high, turning a movie on (5:1 dolby) with the computer going. No one could hear anything...

Interesting, it appears she has moved into a hotel at night until this gets resolved... I hope that the LL isn"t paying for it.

I would think that something like tinnitus could be the issue, but she is constantly saying it isn"t the sound that is bothering her--it is the vibrations. It seems to turn on intermittently. As was the case last night where nothing was on (except the tv) and the vibrations woke her up at 10:30...

Haha- It was the only remaining Netflix movie in the house. Rest assured tonight I will be celebrating in style--one of Boston"s finest steakhouse in conjunction with a metric ton of vodka martinis.

Interesting, it appears things have rapidly escalated. I talked to LL today because he wanted to do a "test" tonight--but we will be out. So we scheduled one for tomorrow afternoon. Evidently the crazy neighbor has been sending long e-mail documenting everything to the LL. He almost sounds...

She"s back!! It didn"t even take a whole 24 hours to get a response! We went out to celebrate my birthday and when we returned we ended up watching "Sideways" at 10 pm. Here is a rough transcript of the phone call the crazy neighbor had with my wife last night around 11 pm. It was a quick...

Good news, the LL just informed me she is returning tomorrow evening...

She still isn"t back, but OMG my prayers have been answered. ThinkGeek :: The ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron

Ha. I have a 6.1 setup at home... I wonder if there are any programs out there which can generate a test .mp3 at a certain specified frequency.

Actually the LL is buying the fans / gaskets. I"m not one to complain if I can improve my computer at no cost.

To keep this thread entertaining...(although this is one of her more lucid e-mails). No speakers or anything inside the computer room-- she made me get rid of those in 2006. I"m trying to find my e-mail archieves from 2005 and 2006; there are some gems in there...

The Crazy Neighbor still is not home yet. If silencing my computer (4 new low dba fans + silicon gaskets) then I think my wife and I have a different approach. Of course, we may do it anyway--even if the new changes do work. We will sign up for BabyGap and Pottery Barn for Kids and...

Sorry, I didn"t mean to leave everyone hanging... Unfortunately there is nothing to share yet. I believe she is spending some time at home (TX) so I haven"t had to put up with her for a few days now. BTW, thanks for the link to frozencpu. I purchased a new thermaltake cpu cooler, 3 quiet...

My wife is in tears reading this post. Haha. Thanks. The computer stand (on wheels, no less) arrived to day and I put the computer on it. I"m not sure if it sounds quieter or I"m just trying to read into it. The real lithmus test will be when she gets home on Sunday... I wish there was a way...

The LL is very polite when he talkes about the crazy neighbor, but I am 100% positive everytime he talkes about her "symptoms" he rolls his eyes.

The computer is on a foam pad on the floor. I just bought (well, the landlord just bought) a little wheeled cart to see if that helps.

1. It is a New England style cape which was split into a two family home. I live on the first floor and she lives on the second. 2. Stick frame with below average insulation. 3. No cooling to speak of. Heat is done through an furnace / radiator system. I understand your point about...

That"s just mean-- but I admit it would be quite entertaining.

This is fantastic feedback, thanks to everyone (I especially love the "This is Sparta" comment). Right now I"m using headphones and I have the computer on one of those anti-fatigue foam mats. There have been quite a few good suggestions on what to use for anti-vibration so I will look into...

We looked into the utilities and everything else along those lines. I am fairly positive it is the computer because she calls on the nights I have it on--no calls happen on the nights I"m not using it. She is the human equivalent of a seismograph...
