That's one problem, it's one of those clever designs where the drives and stuff clip in... Quite impressive, but gives you very little control over how secure the drive is.
Technically, you want the drives uncoupled from the case (by rubber grommets or something), but of course, not rattling.  You might want to look for some thin stick-on foam if you're really neurotic about it... (I found some 'rubber' feet at the local dollar store that are actually the perfect material for this sort of thing, or you can experiment with whether rubber bands wrapped around/wedged-into various places help or hinder, depending on the design...)

The bottle caps are performing roughly the same function as speaker points, so if the bottle caps aren't quite doing it, and you don't mind your floor (or it's carpet, and you want to take advantage of the foam beneath it for dampening), get a few giant cone spikes from the local punk or leather shop, and whatever's appropriate to attach them.
