[color=\"green\"]...this has gotta be bad right? i -think- its coming from the power supply... but im not entirely sure, guess its time to open her up again.

comments? [/color]

First thing I thought is maybe the fan is hitting something lighty, but yeh I don\'t think thats it, but your right it doesnt sound too good.

That sounds like the fan may have come loose. Try opening up your PSU and tightening the fan a little. My rear case fan did that untill i tightened the actual fan itself.

It\'s going to explode.

Or that...

I should become a computer tech! /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Keeping in mind computer techs charge amazing amounts of money for amazingly small amounts of work. Most places have a minimum charge of half hours work for anything that needs to be fixed, and most places around here charging about $90/h to fix things. So you just earnt yourself $45 /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />.

like mobil said, sounds like the fan is coming lose or it might just be getting worn out?
