XPS 420 - having rattling problem with fans

I've been having problems with a rattling sound coming from my case since I received this computer, which is about 2 months old. It dopes not rattle all the time. This is one of the most quite machines I've ever had & I've had many, but more & more today I'm beginning to here this rattling sound coming from the frontend of the case. It's not the side panels. When it does start up I can tap the top of the case with my knuckle & it stops. Any ideas, besides wastin my time calling tech support?

Mine had a few vibration sounds in the first month or two. It stopped whenever I pressed where the noise came from which was internal area near the fan (the hole on the sides)

But the sound now is gone (at least for now)

Maybe it will go away? Give it a while.

The only thing I can think of is to see if there's anything loose first and foremost if not, then perhaps the fan itself has loosened and just needs to be tightened back. IF it is the fan in the first place. :p

I've had mine for a month and experienced that rattling. I think it has stopped or I have become accustomed to it.

I've had mine since December - still not a sound. Quietest PC I ever owned.
