It's pretty easy. open the case, turn on the power and see which fan is making the noise. Turn off computer. If the fan is full of dust and crap, get some compressed air and blow it out. If that doesn't work, there should only be 2-4 screws holding it in place, and 1-2 wires. Unscrew the screws, and unhook the wires. Remember where the wires were connected, to re-install. Take old fan to any place that sells or repairs PC's, and get a replacement. Pay attention to the direction of airflow when removing the fan. If its on the case it'll either be sucking air in or blowing it out, and put the new fan on with the direction of air flow being the same. If it's in the power supply, its a little more difficult than that.
