Strange Noise from D300

I have a Dimension XPS D300 system that is about four years old. Recently I hear a repetitive noise from the case which sounds very much like a dripping faucet - a single then a double sound.

Since the system isn't connected to any water source I'm thinking perhaps the fans (one or both) are going bad.

Has anyone experienced this and if so what's the best way to fix it? Buy a fan from Dell or get one at a local computer store?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    the only way to tell is to crack that sucker open and look at the fans when they make the noise, Fans are cheap via DELL or other sources (dell recommeded of course). Just make sure it isnt coming from the gard drive (again pop the case and listen!)... hard drive sound means time to drop $100 for double the size....
