I have done this in the past, removed the fan and lubricated it with WD-40.

This is only a stop gap for a problem that this will not cure.   You should
consider replacing either the fan, (they can be purchased for about $10)
or replacing the entire powersupply, (250w AT powersupply will cost
under $40).   The lubricant will only solve the problem temporarly.

Also be VERY leary of how you use WD-40 on the computer...  it is flamable.
