I have the same thing with the original X51s. I placed a small coin on the bottom of that side under the rubber grip, it has dampened the vibrations though still lightly there.
X51 build quality is shocking. Took us 6 months to get replacement fans, wifi signal issues, drive issues and apparently the new GTX660 cards have issues too.

I can't hear it in your vid with you talking over it but I'm sure it's there.
Get some 3M two sided tape. Get the thick stuff. Stick it between the door and the case. I know this is not ideal but it's something you can fix I'm sure with a little creativity and patience.
Look at the bright side. It makes it a little bit more YOUR system

new video for those that said there was not a noise here well here it is very annoying very loud and quite frankly fro what i payed for this machine i'm surprised of this. so i want a fix not some two sided tape not some homemade slash job a real fix. ignore the banging in t he back ground my kid is making something for school. this is the buzzing i get all the time and it is very loud very bad to the point i can't keep my pc on all the time like i use to do and do the task and programs i have set to run at those time because of this.

Depends. I have found most of the on-site techs to be really cool but now and then you get one that want to do nothing but whats on the repair order and leave. Best you can do is ask. He also has the power to call it in and setup another on-site repiar for it so you do not need to call Dell and jump through the hoops.
Again, I understand your frustration but you seem to have a handle on it. Just remember we have all been there, even myself a few times. You just gotta see it through.

Door vibrating. Can't really fault Dell or anyone for something like that. I'm sure it just happens from time to time. What if you took the door off and bent it a little with your hands? It's just right that it's resonating with the vibration.
If none of that is good enough then I would suggest calling Dell. My guess is the door or the case needs to be replaced.

i dont see a screw to take this panel off it is plastic to cant bend it. this is the right side of the case the one without screw to remove it. Dell put this side on from the factory and i can't see like i said a whey to remove it at all.

I don't have that exact system so I can not comment on the door. I do understand how it could drive you nuts. I'v been there done that. if you can't figure out a way that can stop it then just call Dell. They will be more then happy to fix it for you.

i will see what he says i suppose i could always lay it down but then that kind of defeats the purpose of having lights on its sides.
