    Hey guys, I just got my Ferrari yesterday. Just two questions...

    When I press the power button, it makes a few click sounds. After this initial start up, it does not return. Is this normal?

    When I load up a CD into the slot drive, and it starts reading, the whole ferrari vibrates. You can hear it vibrate, and can feel it pretty well when you put your hands on it. It also vibrates my table. Should it be this strong?

    Thanks in advance for any help you guys have.

    Not sure about the DVD/CD drive causing the thing to vibrate...

    But i believe the clicking is coming from the hard-drive...I'm pretty sure that hard-drives normally make a clicking sound when loading massive amounts of data (ie: 100-300 layer photoshop docs)...however on startup im not sure...

    someone help?

    I'm not sure, but I think the clicking is coming from the right side, possibly the dvd drive again?

    The vibration is along the line of a cell phone on vibrate, but the sound is literally like an accelerating car (ferrari =P).
