Noisy fans in new computer

[MorseLady]

No choice of tower was given and we took the one that goes with the model.

I cannot go into the computer, it is new, it under warranty with a seal on the case and it is not mine. TRhere is nothing rattling, it isd more a blowing noise.

My husband says he has accepted it is as it is but I am not happy si i guess I had better stop interfering.

Are you supecting yourself of being a Perfectionist ? .. I can relate to that bit for sure

Perhaps an answer might be, a nice long vga cable & a wireless keyboard & mouse ?, so that you can position the tower out of the way a bit & at least move the source of the noise away from him a touch ? (not exactly perfect as it means spending some cash, but a solution I've used before for others in the same situation & with the same limiting factors) - anyway that 'solution' can wait about for when/if your hubby 'can't stand it' as much as you

Thanks for the suggestion but my husband is disabled and must have things within reach without having to keep getting up. He has his tower up on his desk and his room is so crammed with hisa precious videos and DVDs he can just aboiut see his bed. I am through with it all, we have just had a row because having given him a book and told him that if he got a new computer I would not have time to keep running up to see to him, he has decided to do a big scan job and of course does not know how to print the stuff. I have shown him but I have now told him he can get on with it. I injured my already arthritic knee yesterday and using the stairs or even walking is painful. It is one thing having to dress and wash him etc.that is my duty as wife of an invalid but the computer thing is more than I can cope with.

I am behind with my housework, shopping and exam studies so I have told him he can get on with it and to stop making me run about after him and pay for a support tech.


I have since typed and printed step by step instructions for him(again) on how to acquire and use scanner and print the results! I have also said that if he needs help from now on he will havwe to crawl to me and I will not offer because I keep getting my head bitten off

With regard to the noisy machine my husband says he has got used to it and I have also received a suggestion that it means the fans are doing their work, thanks John

Off out shopping now to cool my head and get some Easter treats.
