The fan in my PSU is quite noisy. Can I open the unit and replace the fan? I find several screws on the outside of the unit, and unscrewed them, but I need to bend one piece of metal to 90 degree to let the fan out, and I am not sure even if I bend it, the fan can be unmounted easily. Also, I worry that the bending could make the metal's life much shorter -- I mean, it could eventually break if I bend several times.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
