I don't have a 5000e, but I do have the good ole 5000 (which is basically the same NEway) and it does the same exact thing, but then again I've had many desktops do this. I'm sure it's just some random relays clicking in and out, but since I've seen this on a billion different boxes (mobile or otherwise) I figure it's no big deal. JFYI it does this under win98, or on Linux/FreeBSD (though I've only run those two off floppy, as I have a separate 5yr old ppro for my unix needs) L: User Witr wrote: > > Hi: > > My Dell Inspiron 5000e is noisy!
