So I got my D630 on Friday, and I absolutely love it, however, the one unusual thing thats happening to it is that when its on, about once every 30 seconds to 1 minute, I hear a metallic click/creak coming from the front left of the computer...its not any kind of hard-drive like sound, or any other sound that I can recognize...it almost sounds as if something is loose in there and is rattling around a bit, but I dont know...what is in the front left that could be causing it? Anyone else have a similar experience?

Personally, If you just got the system this past week, call dell. I would be asking them what it is. If there is something wrong, You will have to call them anyway. Better call now while you can still return it then wait for someone to figure out the problem for you and then you can't return the system if it is something terrible.
