Hi list,

This is a characteristically longwinded message from yours truly. you've been warned!!

I've noticed upon hooking up my behringer 31 band eq that if I raise up the higher bands I'm getting the feedback of my internal hard drive's motor and some power static. the connections are as follows.

a pair of male xlr connecting to two rca outputs on a sound blaster x-fi pro external sound card. Two standard xlr male to female cables connect from the eq to two nearfield active studio monitors, adam audio a7x's.

The power is grounded on all three-pronged plugs. I have an internal soundcard which is an m-audio delta 1010 lt. That's the audio side of things, here comes the computer side of the equation.

a thermaltake atx mid-tower case holds an asus wd5 delux motherboard, don't quote me on the exact name. The hard drives, there are 3, are all sata 2 drives, 2 500 gb drives and a 1.5 tb drive. The two 500 gb drives are a few years old, they make more noise than the 1.5 tb drive. The catch is that one of them is my main drive for program files and the like, so I don't want to put it in an enclosure. The other two could be taken out and enclosed.

My main concern is editting, the feedback won't get through to the digital transfers, but I'm not sure if I can deal with this high pitched noise, it's a high b-flat. I'm wondering if anyone has run into this and what a good solution might be?
