I had to "flip" it a few times with a toothpick in order to get it moving, albeit rather slowly. I suspect that this is driving the internal temperature too high, and is resulting in the other fans running at higher speed. It looks as if I will need to either replace the fan or power supply soon. I know that you replaced your fan, Peter, has anyone replaced the full PSU? If so, how difficult is it?

I periodically clean the dust out of the interior and the ventilation ports, but the noise persists.. Can anyone recommend a course of action? lubrication? replacement?
