Oops, I should have read your original post more carefully - I usually make it a point to do that, but I guess having had just 3 hrs sleep the night before made me sloppy. I thought you said you bought it FROM a friend.

The power supply is not the one that comes with ibox
I have purchased the power supply seperately and its one of the best.
"Power Safe - gold plated - 230V"

I mentioned my previous problems with the ibox only as an example. Didn't even see the config list where you included some 'i' products.... same excuse as above

currently the system is sent for analysis to a engineer and i will let you know about the further development.

Please do that. Apart from my personal curiosity, it will be helpful to others with similar problems.

but i want to know what you feel might be wrong.

As I said before, your PSU fan is probably controlled by a temperature-sensitive speed regulator. The high speed you described could be perfectly normal after the temp has reached a preset level. The rattling could be because some screw or rivet is slightly loose. iboxes have a nice finish but they do use rather thin-gauge sheet metal.
Do you have proper airflow paths both inside and outside the cabinet ? That will ensure that there's no excessive climb in temperature.
