One for the hard disc, one in the motherboard (CPU?) and one in general. All are working, all is cool, but the sound appears to be coming from the motherboard area.

As said, this is the worst time of year for it to happen and if I have to be without it over Christmas it's going to be pretty miserable around my household
Contact the shop or whoever built it, tell them that there is a high pitched noise coming from the motherboard area, if you can isolate it to a certain area of the board even better, and then ask them if they can sort it out now or if bringing it back to the shop in the new year would be better for them. It could be a component on the board failling and if so it needs replacing now rather than in a months time when it could fail and cost you data
