My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.

I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that's the next task.) #lowtechtech

Because that is a hack [...] not a solution!

I'm from the country that makes a lifestyle of hacking a quick fix for anything instead of actually solving an issue, as more often than not a definitive solution for a problem is either too expensive, complex or requires climbing up a bureaucratic ladder for an approval.

Staring me down into shame does not work with me.
