jlrii just became our defacto "expert", just for coming up with that distinction!

I understand the issue you have, and I think now's the time to face it: This is one of the rare moments in your life where it's OK to use duct tape. It's really OK.
Larger blowers get connected/shrouded with heavyweight plasticized cloth. It won't rattle, and allows some play in installation. A lightweight plasticized cloth is duct tape.

Yeah, I'm there.
Rubber grommets will dampen the vibration from the blower. I'm in the process of putting a frame into the case, to hold it into place. A mix of steel and aluminium, a little riveting, etc. I have muffler tape, which would be ideal. The issue right now is that the fiberglass shroud I built just barely fits over the core, and the inlet/outlet actually interfere with it, a little bit. Otherwise, the core is already sitting on sticky foam strip insulation, again for sound dampening.
I'm also looking to paint the inside of the case in flat black, so I'm going to have to do this "American Chopper" style, i.e. build the raw components, assemble, then strip it all apart for painting, then re-assemble the whole kit-n-kaboodle.
