Greetings: I just completed my build, and upon first boot, I'm hearing a loud screen from the PSU.

I stayed up finishing this build last night, and I am really worried that I did something wrong. When I boot up, the fans all spin up with their LEDs, so there is at least some power being supplied to the machine. I wish I knew where I went wrong, and what I can do to save my new machine!

550W Xclio greatpower
Antec900
p35-ds3r
q6600
2gb crucial ballistix
320GB barracuda HDD (I have another but it's detached at the moment)
8800GTS 320MB
old 52x cd rom
tuniq tower HSF
 
The pitch is loud but not painful to the ears. When I kill the power, it gets slightly louder than it ever was, and slowly fades out over a period of 3 seconds.
 
EXTREMELY disappointing but at this point i just hope i didn't damage any other parts...I have attempted to boot 7 times total
 
The sound seems electrical in nature. It doesn't sound like a system speaker beep, but it is comprable to that in nature - just not in pitch. It does not sound like rubbing, grating, or anything like that.
