" Anthony" wrote in message ... "Eddie Grant" wrote in message ... I was just wondering if the people at Packard Bell try to make their pcs as noisy as possible.... Is it just me or do they engineer them to sound like tractors? Just curious, thats all I dunno, but I think I rember a simailr post a couple weeks back about "TRACTOR" noise. IF I rember it correctly if could be attributed to a hard drive going south, but I could be wrong. -- Regards, Anthony --- View the ALT.SYS.PC-CLONE.PACKARDBELL FAQs @ http://pbfaq.tripod.com/ I was close....found this on google groups....
