I am pretty happy with my Media Center PC, it has made my TV viewing experience more enjoyable. But if I have to pick one thing that I am not completely satisfied with, then it would have to be the excessive noise coming from the machine.
This afternoon the rattling noise appeared again when I first “awoke” the PC from hibernation. I put my fingers on top of the machine, and to my surprise, the rattling stopped. I tightened all 5 screws securing the top lid, and all that was left were the fan whirls.
I didn’t completely tighten the screws before because I wanted easier access for future upgrades. I have learned my lesson.
