Do not start unpluging fans. They are there to wisk heat away from vital parts of the computer. The things that are spinning in a computer are the hard drives, fans in the power supply and a case fan if you have one and the processor fan. Maybe a fan on the video card as well if it needs one. The cd drives do not spin unless they have a cd in them. Turning off the case fan is fine. What would really be the best thing is to go out and buy a can of air and a paper mask for your face and then blow out the computer. if the sound does not go away then I would say it is a bad fan.

I am gonna try it out after mom's downstairs (which should not take too long).

@ bigguy: Call me crazy but the local stores here have no cans of air ???
My dad has a blower though (though I guess it's not gonna hold that) ;D

@ alahuin: As far as I can see the CPU fan is fine.

Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel?
That thing is probably some sort of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face all over it.

Step 1, turning it on at the back was successfully done.

Now I'm shaking for step 2.. ???

(somebody's got to hold my hand xd)

The sound is still there.

To me it sounds like a fan is going crazy to the case (after shutting it down, there's still something slowing down) :-\

(to mention it, there's a black...hole? On my case on the inside, and the case is pretty hard to put together)

Best buy, Walmart....someone has to have a can of air....Zellers, lol. A missing blade might well be the problem as alahuin has posted. Check the fan in the psu.

 As Bigguy said there are only certain things that spin. I would target them 1 at a time.
My guess is a fan!
