Alienware x51 R2 sound from the case

Hi, I have just bought an Alienware x51 r2, and for the sake of argument I am not a gamer, just love the look and ssf.

The first few days it run very smoothly almost with out a sound, but lately i can hear another sound (buzzing like) coming from the case.

It doesnt seems to come from CPU fan, but no idea what it is.

At best i can define the sound as something that may come from an old refrigerator, but not so loud, but then again very annoying

Any clue?

Best Regards

MM

Open case and check the front intake fan and the fan on the power board under the optical drive, also one more place to check but you need to be powered down for it is to remove the video card and make sure the wires are not touching the fan on the card, there is not much that can make the noise other than the two fans.
