    Custom PC build that can run Diablo 3/Dota 2 on low/medium

    Suspecting faulty HDD (recording)

    I just put together a new build for my friend. When I turn the computer on a nasty crackling sound emerges. I've concluded it is the HDD (I unplugged it and the sound didn't happen) I recorded it and uploaded it for you to listen. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1PF7yjcmQUN It is bad around 0:17 Edit...
