By "rumble", do you mean hum? Where are you located? What's the line
frequency where you live?

If the "rumble" isn't hum, then it could be a mechanical resonance of the
computer's case with one of the fans. One way to reduce this is to put
adhesive pads on the metal case; they're usually sold for dampening rattles
in cars.

Peace,
Paul
