PSU Fan Replacable?

Of all the various fans in my case, the one in the PSU has to start making noise. Is this replaceable, or am I going to have to spring for a new 600W PSU?

Yes you can replace the fan, but of course, you void the warranty. It does take some electronic expertise and some boxes are easier to crack than others. Be sure to wait as much as a day before you start touching capacitors though! Check out this link.

Well it does'nt look very complicated, unless we factor in Murphy's Law. The fan is making an annoying rattling sound, so the bearings may be on the way out.

I finally got to it this morning, and am now enjoying a much quieter PC. Thanks for the link, Stu. i don't think I could have figured it out otherwise.
