   I personally don't think that this is necessarily a fault of the
Rom 01 motherboard. I was (and still am) getting those buzzing musical
tones, especially when the mouse is clicked, and the like. I thought
it was coming out of my speaker, so when I got a SoundMeister sound
board last fall, I unplugged the speaker. I _still_ get the noises
(even with the Sounemeister unplugged as well), which leads me to
suspect the switching power supply. (Unless it's a major amount of
magnetic flux from the power supply causing the speaker to make the
noise, but I personally don't think so :)

   One of these days, I'll get really annoyed (normally, I just turn
my stereo up to cover it), and order a new power supply from Alltech,
just to try and prove this theory.
