Also Chuck, He never stated it was coming from the monitor??? He said it was coming from under the hood... Where and what is the hood here??? The only thing that I thought he was talking about was the panel on the tower??? The only thing that I know of that has a hood is a car... Oh yeah the ones from Europe call it the Bonnet... This is why I thought it could have been the HD...
