Classic II Fan motor

Helllllloooo there, my classic II fan sounds strange. It works fine but sounds like a hard drive (there is no hard drive inside). Has anyone replaced the fan on here or know of a nice compatible/cheap replacement? :?:

 
12V DC Fan. I guess they are all pretty much the same..Except the mounting screw location/pins. I'm gonna take this thing out to get a better idea

 
Any 12V box fan of the right size should be a straight swap. Alternatively you can try lubricating it - sewing machine oil usually works well - fans usually tend make that noise when they require lubrication, or when the bearings are on their way out.
