High Speed Fan on Dimension 3000??

Have a Dimension 3000, purchased it last December.
 
The first internal fan made a rattle type of noise, Dell technical support came here and replaced the fan.
 
Several months now, the current fan seems to be laboring and running with a high degree of force. Is this normal, or does the fan once more need to be replaced?

    There shouldn't be any significant dust in there.  But, will give it a try.

    Have you opened the machine up recently and possibly blown out the dust that tends to build up over time?

    Get a can of compressed air, do not us a vacuum and blow out all the dust and see if that helps.

    You would be amazed how much can build up overtime, but in my case my machines run 24/7 so the build-up is much faster.

    It is an easy enough thing to try before contacting Dell again.
