I think the most effective method of tracking it down is for you to get in there with your ear and listen for the problem. When you find out from whence your problem comes you can eliminate it.
Also, you might want to edit out that sweary typo.

Yes the Eclipse does rattle !
I mentioned this in my Antec 900 review and people were like no it doesnt....
I use to wake up at 4am in morning and have to tap my eclipse on the side to kill the rattle.
Only thing I would advise is like the above, u gotta open it up and track down that rattle for me it was the fan on the front and the foam, when I turned off that fan no such rattle, but I also noticed the front case isnt so sturdy/firm and that caused it partialy.
hopefully your rattle isnt random like mine, therefore making it difficult to track down ! but as a last resort take the front off and the turn the fans off see if it goes...
Never know could just be a screw loose or something not screwed in properly.

My Lian Li PC6089B case sometimes lets one off -a rattle that is, have isolated it to being the windowed side panel which and this is the only thing I can think of must flex as the case heats up. To fix it I just adjusted the fixings on the panel and hopefully it'll now be a thing of the past.
