Need Help Fast - First Build

Hi....alright, here's the scoop. I just finished assembling my first PC, as the monitor and CPU came in today. I just fired it up and hit a problem.

Upon the PC powering up, all fans start running, so no problems there, but an extremely high-pitched loud sound is coming from somewhere. It's quite loud, which is why I can't pinpoint where it's coming from.

I know for a fact that it's not the CPU fan, since a wire was blocking a blade the first power up and it didn't spin. On subsequent tests, the CPU fan spun and the sound was still there.

I realize that I'm being incredibly vague, but please help.


Thanks for your help.
