Paul, Most of the time, this kind of vibration is caused by a misaligned fan. It is probably wobbling a little bit off center.
Sometimes you can adjust a screw or something. Often, the fan is encased in plastic so that you don't really have access to it. In that case, replacing the fan will reduce the vibration enough to minimize the noise. The other type of problem could be that someone opened the case and didn't close it properly. Open it again and close it as carefully as possible. I don't know if you have a screwless case or not. On 7/25/07, Paul Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
No it is not a component. I have two Dells (Dimension E310's) and they have both had this problem since problem since they shipped. The case is buzzing. If you hold the case to stop the buzzing the machines ARE reasonably quiet. The normal vibration is being turned into sound by the case, has anyone had experience trying to silence a case like this?
