replace side fan on v1000+

[rangor gubbins]

my side fan (the one next to my GFx card) has started making funny noises. I'm wondering if people have managed to replace this part, preferably with a better/quieter fan and where they got it from.

(i tihnk the part i need is the BS-03, but i can't find it for sale anywhere)

Or i could just remove it all together and not have an exhaust at the top-rear of the case. Think it would be better with one though as my GPU is folding 24/7 so pumps out a fair bit of heat.

on another totally unrelated note, I have a bug in my screen. There is a small insect crawling around on the back of my LCD. I'm not kidding. If it dies right somewhere visible I'm not going to be happy.
Can i spray insecticide into my monitor? is that safe?

Take the sticker off and put some oil in the bearing.
Put the lcd in a cupboard or somewhere dark and put a lamp in there and hope it crawls out attracted to the light.

you cant get the lian li exhaust blowers anywhere

oil should work really well like the above poster says, WD40 sprayed into the whole the sticker covers works wonders in my experience.
