What's wrong with my computer?

make sure you mount that hard drive on something

also odds are its a wire rubbing up against a fan blade.. just keep the case open and turn it on to see whats up.

It's already turned on on that picture Still sounds like a freight-train. However, I've now taped the hdd to the graphics card, so that they now share the gpu's fan for cooling. I think it's a pretty decent solution There's no vibration at all now, but there's still a strange sound coming from somewhere.. I tried opening the power-supply up while the computer was running to see if there were anything strange going. Except for some static discharges I found nothing out of the ordinary.. I'm beginning to think that there's something inside the hdd that's not working as intended..

You're a very brave person. Can't you send the computer back to the people you bought it from, so they can have a look at it?

Allthough you might have voided the waranty when you disasembled the psu and ductaped the harddrive on to the graphic card.

Have you tried taking the HDD out and turning it on to see if its the sectors which are causing the noise in the HDD? Also taping the HDD to the gfx is a very bad idea.

This. It's also a VERY bad idea to open the psu up while it's turned on. A good way to find out what's making the noise would be to unplug all of the fans from the power suppy and plug them in individually to test the different noise levels.

you didn't have to open it if it was a brand new computer . However ,you might wanna rearrange things in there ...... it looks really freaky :-s .

My opinion is that the hot air from the fans is going over the cables and that might heat the cables (i had a pen next to the fans of the laptop and after 2 hours the rubber pen was bent ....nearly melt) .
