Yeah i was hoping it would be a wire!
Its definately not my two case fans, so one step in the right direction. My graphics card has a little fan, but i dont think it could be that because a loud that loud couldnt come from such a little fan.
I've had the side off with my head stuck in and it is definately something in the main board. The only thing left is the processor fan, i hate changeing anythign round there, scares the hell out of me!

the inside of my pc is surprisinly un-dusty but i'll gives it a clean anyway to see if it makes a difference, i hope its something small and silly like a piece of dust though, thats would be good!
I better go to college though, i'm all a late already! I'll give it a clean when i get back!
Antistatic fluid? I dont think i have any of that...where would i get it from, or can i use an alternative?
Thank you very much!
