    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST replacing cpu + case fans, need ideas and advice

    I suspect that my cpu heatsink fan is on it's way out, or at least I think it may be that, or one of the case fans (angry whirring noise on start up, stops after a few minutes).

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST so far, so good.

    Guess who arrived today? My new shiny friend, that's who! Hello there, new friend! Unboxed. I turned it on, everything worked fine. I named the beast Baphomet, which turned out to be a mistake. I then got to work on transplating the HDD from my other machine into this one. It was tough...
