Just a quick note - Fan noise on startup is hard to track down because
by the time you get the case open and look, the noise is gone. Most
of the fan noise problems I have experienced were related to the fan
which is enclosed within the power supply. Unless you feel like
replacing just the fan, the best solution to that is to simply replace
the entire supply itself.
