Don't need an air can. Just get some type of blowing device. (Like a tire inflator, shop vac, you get the idea). Then just blow out all the dust in your case. It does help alot ;)

Most probably a shot bearing in the fan, it happens pretty regularly. If cleaning it with air doesn't fix your problem then just pick up a new case fan. They're pretty cheap, like $20 for a good one.

I have that problem, I can't really be botherd to clean it, I just hit it and it stops to, or after awhile it just stops it's self.

I had that problem with my computer. The best solution is canned air. DO NOT USE A VACCUUM CLEANER. They create static electricity and your computer doesn't mix well with that. Read this CNet guide for more info:
Don't kick your fucking computer- use the compressed air or what BFG said.

You gotta replace the fan like Unit 43 said.

Get the thing what's arround your computer of(don't know what it is in English) and get out your vacuum cleaner... I had this problem a while ago, and I vacuumed :P the whole thing (my ventilator works again :P; nobody ever vacuumed it since 1998 :lol:)... It stopped making noise and it won't get too hot anymore :P
If the Void can't help ya, ask BFG for this computer tech help website... A great forum to discuss problems like this... I can't remember the address :blink:
