Crickets. That's what the noise sounds like. I swear I thought I had a cricket in the house. And I live in an apartment. On the second floor!

I'm sittin' here typing away, wasting my Sunday night, when I heard it: :chirp-chirrrrrup-chirupppp-chirp:

So I jump up out of my chair (I hate bugs...they creep me out) and turn my head to get a fix on the sound. I follow the sound...it's the fan in the PS in my server! :disgust:

It is most definintely the fan; had my ear right there.

It's an Antec 400w that I did the fan-mod on to decrease fan noise (how ironic) the fan is a Vantec Stealth Fan...only a year old, if that. Ironically (lotsa irony here) ALL my 80mm fans are Vantec Stealth fans. I bought 12 of them at the same time and replaced ALL my case fans with these.

I really hope they dont' all start making that noise.

MAYBE the cricekts are in the PW supply.:Q They're just waiting for you to sleep to come out. They're trying to trick you into thinking its the PS.

Man, now I've gotta remove the PS from the case. FYI, when I build a system, I use wire ties (zip ties) like it's going out of style...everyting is zipped together and out of the way), a major PITA!!! :disgust:

Then, I gotta open the PS....DAMN I just rmembered; my soldering station is in storage!! DAMNNNNNNNN! Now what? Guess I gotta go dig the stupid up!

THis weekend sucked ass.

Damn.. I have stealths in my system and have heard chirps every now and then.. but I don't think it's the fan. I think it's coming from outside the window.. I hope it isn't the fans..
