Well, if they're ball races, I'll replace them (they are almost certainly 
going to be a standard size). If bushes, well, I'll take a bit of phosphor 
broze rod and a lathe...

Perhaps I've been lucky, but I've not had much trouble with the bearings 
in the fans of _classic_ computers. Modern PCs are another story...
