We have slot fans in the computers at work, and upon booting one of them, I heard an odd noise so I had a look inside. The slot fan was not turning. I peeled the label off the underside and put a couple of drops of high-quality oil on the sleeve bearing, and it is running fine again. I replaced the label with some clear box tape, since it was not sticking very well. Y'all might want to check your slot fans.
Recommended oil: Phil Wood Tenacious Oil or Tri-Flow. Not recommended: vegetable-based oils such as 3-in-1 Oil, which will turn gummy evenutally. Your local bicycle shop will probably have Tri-Flow, it is a good all-around lubricant for bicycle componentry too
