Open it up and see where the noise is coming from.
Could be a fan problem, or a hard drive on its last legs.

oh feck man, this is so damn funny!
anyway, what kind of noises? every pc makes noses, being it the fan or the dvd-rw reading a disc or something.
of course, if you know it's not that, it could be in example the wiring or the HD's/DVD-RW's/ ... and then you indeed have to open up your buddy

Well I dusted the fan, and a bit of the noise stopped, but some of it's still there
I'll get a tech on it, I know a few thanks!
Raz: I don't think so...It's just 7 or so years old

A friend o fmine once told me that the fan in his PC had come off, and when it was spinning round, it physically chopped his harddrive to pieces.

OMG Jeremy, I started cracking up when I read the title...
7 years old? Yeah, that sucker's pretty old...
(and in my experience, kicking the computer tends to solve most problems )

The new hard drive I installed is noisier than all get out. I just learned to live with it.

Mine used to make a kind of buzzy sound. Then i checked the fan, and thought "holy sh*t!", it was all covered in dust and small pieces of cloth, wood, and . I havent checked it since i bought it.
