Can someone who's more familiar with HD Tune interpret these results? I think that's pretty terrible... also, I don't believe the clicking was happening when I first brought it in, did perhaps my constant transferring between USB sticks precipitate the problem? So far though everything is...

PSU fan seems to randomly make sound like it's rubbing up against something, but the sound goes away when I put the PC tower on its side, or even if I slightly move/shake the PC tower. What could be the reasons for this? Fan bearings? Is there anything I may have done to cause this, or is it a...
