I know new PC's will have some smells associated as they "burn in".

I would pull the batwing and just crank it for a while and see if you can locate the smell. Cycle it on and off, w/ some cooling time in between, and make sure it's 100% before you button it back up.

Would like to see how you wrap the speakers with Poly if you don't mind getting a pic? Depending on the actual smell - hot vs burning. I'd make sure some of hte poly isn't in the speaker melting?

HTH - GL!
