When those fans start making noise, cleaning them sometimes helps,
but by the time the noise is heard the bearings/bushings are nearly shot.
Typically, you can remove the fan and take it to most PC parts stores,
such as CompUSA, as a for instance, and they will have replacement
fans.   There are also websites that specialize in PC fans, such as
Plycon:  http://www.plycon.com/ , just to name one.
