Yay, easy fix!
Nov. 29th, 2010 01:21 pmComputer is not borked after all, there were just some cables hanging down and hitting the fan. Fan is not broken, and they just needed to adjust the zip-ties keeping the cables together and presto, no more loud noise. Evidently it's a common thing and if they ever fall down in the way again, it's something I can easily fix myself. Also a good thing to know if I ever bother to do the research and make the effort to build my own comp in the future. I keep meaning to try, but I'm lazy about it.
