My DA sounds like its snoring -- WoooOOOOoooooo_zzzzzzzzzz. Sorta' like entering a bedroom with someone asleep -- inhale-exhale snore about every 5 seconds or so. This condition just started a few days ago.
The problem seems to be coming from the power supply fan speeding up (heat issue?) and then vibrating . I have blown out all dust from the PS and the rest of the internals. The main case fan seems to be OK. I can feel the vibration when I touch the case of the PS during the zzzzzzzz times. So, the questions: 1) can it be fixed? I read recent tread about PS high voltage so I don't think I want to get fried replacing the the PS fan. 2) is the DA PS the same as the G3 B&W as I have some spares? 3) what other cheap PS's can be used as a replacement? 4) does it matter? I can deal with the noise, but is an impending PS failure imminent? This is my main business computer.
