I don't think the noise is coming from a fan, that's the odd thing. I powered up the machine (briefly) with all the fans disabled except the one built in to the power supply and still got the noise. It didn't sound like it was coming from the power supply fan. I do have a couple monster Zalman fans attached to the CPUs in this. I'm afraid that moving the computer with such heavy fans hanging off the motherboard may have caused some damage. -Steve Chris Barber wrote: > I had a similar experience with one of my servers.
