Fred Larga did an excellent report lately on this very thing. You
start by opening the case, making sure nothing is loose, etc, etc.
Search his web site.

Hi,
I'll be getting my computer soon and I was just wondering what some of you
do to check and make sure everything is alright. Checking against the Packing
List is a first step but then do you have other tests you run? For example,
I've seen people say they got the wrong amount of RAM, wrong CPU, hard drive,
etc. How do you check the innards to, first, make sure they're what you
ordered and second, to make sure they're working properly?
Thanks everyone, Steve.
