Yeah, it probably has a nasty old sleeve bearing. I had to oil the fan on my PC's GeForce3 Ti500 heatsink not too long ago, and it requires frequent oiling now since the thing gets so hot it decomposes my light machine oil. I probably ought to try some lightweight motor oil, but I think I'll just replace the heatsink/fan entirely.
You can get replacement fans of just about any size from a place like http://www.2cooltek.com. It's a PC modding site, but most of the hardware will work on anything. Just figure out the dimensions of your fan and go to town! -Drew B -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
