Computer squeaking on shut-down

When Vista shuts down and all the components switch off - fans spin down. The last noise my computer makes is a mechanical squeak. I have not been able to isolate what is making the squeak but was wondering if anyone else had the same thing.

It's only happened since I overclocked. Putting it back to stock makes no difference now. I can only think its a fan making that noise as it slows down.

Don't think its the hard disk, if it is then it makes a really weird noise. I thought I'd trod on a mouse when I first heard it.

Ok thanks, I didnt think it was anything to worry about just thought I'd check.

Take of the side panel, stick your head in and listen to where the sound is coming from.

I've done this but I cant pinpoint it.
