Fixing my loud power supply fan

[spence]

The power supply fan on my Dell Dimension 2400 is making a ton of noise, it's out of warranty and I'd rather not spend 50 bucks on a new power supply.

Any alternate ideas would be greatly appreciated

thanks,

spence i was going to suggest just that when i saw the title. Peel the little sticker back and just a few drops in there, put the sticker back on the hub and spin it up.

If you have any more problems lemme know what the mounting hole spacing is and fan thickness/diameter and I should have a fan here you can stick in there to fix it.

I didn't realize the fan shaft had an access point...I thought it was sealed

Seems to be nice and quite now.
