There's still one more moving part, the PSU fan. Can you briefly stop it
from spinning (say, with a toothpick?) at bootup just long enough to rule
that out? Otherwise I'm thinking a capacitor on the MB is starting to act
up. Have you left the case open and tried to listen during boot up to see if
you can pinpoint the noise?
