[aclug-L] Re: Computer Vibration Noise

[DAVID CARMICHAEL <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is the case....

The fans (three of them) are not making noise by
themselves or none of the four -ROM drives or Four
Harddrives... it when all eleven devices are running
and after the case has sat a while do I start getting
the noise that is hitting my nerves...

I shake the case and the noise goes away for a day or
more and then comes back...
