It is a model W3507 and it's pretty new *just a few months old* and it works pretty good, except every ten minutes or so, it will squeak. Sounds like it's sneezing. I still have my warranty. Does anyone know what it could be, is it something that can be easily fixed or do I need to just forget about this one and get another one?

If its under warranty call Emachines, let them fix it. Most likely a bearing in one of the fans is going bad....Take it to the GeekSquad "inside BestBuy" and they will do a free visual and possible tell you whats wrong.....

As I'm sure you're aware, there's VERY little in a computer that actually moves; the only two things that come to mind are your CD/DVD drive and your hard drive, or a fan. If you're keeping a CD or DVD in your machine, that should probably come out; if there's nothing in the drive and you're getting squeaks from that, I'd be a bit concerned about the drive and the software for it, as it could be getting some sort of momentary but regular signal to attempt to open or close. If it the sound is coming from near the hard drive, then I'd be a little concerned that you're getting noise from it after such a short time; you definitely shouldn't be hearing anything more than a steady hum of the motor. Be sure the sound isn't coming from your speakers (unlikely) or from the computer's own speaker. If it is coming from your computer's speaker, it could theoretically be a sign of an error condition. If it's a fan, then that's easily replaced; rather than shipping it off to E-machines and being without your computer for a while, you can probably just replace it yourself, or have someone local do it.

Lol sorry this isn't an answer as to what you need but every once in a while I say mine is making a left turn. It makes a clicking sound like a car turning signal. So I say its turning.
Ask the people you bought it from?
Good luck
