Computer update...
Aug. 27th, 2003 10:06 amSince I'm sure you're all curious, of course.
Popped open the case and listened to where the funky noise was coming from.
Good news: It's not the hard drive. (yay)
It's one of the fans. Not the exhaust fan, but the smaller fan that sits on the motherboard. Looking at the fan while it spun, it looked a little... wobbly isn't quite the right word, but it's the closest I can come up with. It seems secure, but it's making that noise, and I'm not sure what to do with it. If it was the exhaust fan I'd feel more comfortable trying to replace or repair it on my own, but it's the cooling fan attached to my poor computer's brain, and I don't want to lobotomize it by accident.
Wait for the fan to break, then take it to CompUSA I guess.
