Posted November 3, 200519 yr My computer kept making this annoying noise.. It comes down to that my gfx card fan is rubbing on somthing, if i put abit of lube in there, only a tiny bit do you think it could harm it. It looks pritty cut of from the circuit board.

November 3, 200519 yr You can usually get easy parts from ebay.. I think 4 gig drives go for about 10 dollars and they're enough to hold an operating system. I suggest using ECS parts- them being the cheapest/reliable.
