prusikI got home after Clarion and my computer was making that "my hard drive is going to die" noise. (Yes, I did do a back up just before I left. Why do you ask?) Anyway, I did a quick investigation. The failing hard drive was one of my backup drives. (I have, or rather had, an internal backup and an external backup drive.) Anyway, I removed the internal drive and made sure the external backup is up-to-date.
Even after I removed the drive, the case was still buzzing. The enclosure for the DVD drive, as it turned out, wasn't seated properly. Apparently, it'd never been seated properly. I'd thought the computer had shipped with an incredibly noisy DVD drive. Nope. Now that I've reseated the enclosure, the DVD drive makes a reasonable amount of noise when it's being used. Otherwise, I hear only the fan.
Potential disaster averted. *whew*
