I just did also.  I think it's the best! (non-color that is, but we can add
on a screen w/a card.  I don't need that now)

I get it too! Is this a problem?  I'm gonna call the dealer soon! However,
the high pitch (unnoticable unless you take notice) doesn't seem to have a
pattern for me.  It toggles on and off with mouse clicks and keyboard
keys being pressed.  Sometimes if I hold the mouse button, the whine will
start, at other times it will stop.  It's starting to bother me!  I just 
got this!  I happened to notice, I have a Quantum hard disk.  Could it
be the hard disk?  Are the Quantum hard disks that Apple is shipping with 
the SE/30 all new drives with no problems or are they "fixed" versions?
Help!
