I do not agree that dust buid-up would make a fan sound like a failing bearing.

That information pretty much eliminates static discharge as the source because machine and body would have effectively been at the same potential. However, you can build up quite a lot of heat using one of those machines and minor burns can appear before you know it.

133906 2003-04-07 05:23:00 The burns were from the static. I was working from a platform on a forklift and the burns were at the level of the metal surround. There was quite a bit to do and a heck of a lot of static and yes I did feel it but electricity doesn't bother me as much as some. When I worked on a farm I used to move break fencing fed off a mains unit but I always made sure I had a good pair of gumboots on first.
I see no problem with the vacuum at the back of the power supply but as I said I wouldn't put one inside a PC.
