It could be the fan, or the ball bearings that the cd [that is your hard drive], rolls around on...that sound is normal for an older unit,whereas the round balls rotating round and round is all it is...
as far as dust is concerned you should take the cover off the tower, and carefully use a pc cleaner air spray to clear away the dust so your pc does not get to hot...
it could be loose from a screw which would throw it off balance also to make this noise...
and as others said it is a sign of an old hard drive? do you know what was installed and how old the hard drive was...

There may be many reasons for this problem. I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

Dude, that happened to me once. It either froze, or it just does not like you.
