Buzzing/Rattling from case.

I've been noticing for a while that there a slight buzzing from within my case. It goes anywhere from a medium to a low pitch, and sometimes ends up making more more of a whirring now. Now, at first I figured it was my case rattling, but it's a great case and any little tinkering of positioning the case doesn't do much to stop it. Ironically, I was unscrewing some thumb screws to remove the sidepanel while the machine was on, and the rattling stopped, but then continued as soon as I sat back down. I'm not sure what it could be, but it's driving me nuts!

I ran a search for this on the forum, but couldn't come up with anything relevant.

Is your hard drive making the hard drive cage rattle? Put your hand against the hard drive cage and see if the rattling stops.

Excellent idea - seems to have worked to cure the rattling. Might it be a loose screw that's causing the problem?
