Hello everyone, just got back from QuakeCon on Sunday and this was the first time I've traveled with my pc(Thermaltake Lanbox Lite). Anyway, after I got home I noticed that when I took my computer out of a bag I heard a sound like a screw slide to the end of the case.

When I opened the case up I realized it was coming from the PSU which is a Corsair 620HX. My computer works fine but this loose part sound bugs the heck out of me and I can't remember if it always sounded like that. I know many wouldn't worry about it but I just want to know if its normal or if I should try to take it apart to see what it is. Thanks.
 
Why void the warranty by taking it apart? See if you can spot anything in there with a flashlight first.
 
I tried that along with tilting it every direction and sometimes it sounds like the "object" becomes stuck on something but then it moves around after some more tilting.
 
It could be something that fell into the PSU, or something inside the PSU that broke off and is now rattling around. See if you can shake it out of the PSU, and if not, you might want to consider RMAing it.
