Thanks, Sandor.

I'll go to Apple's site and see if there's a How To. I would hate
to goop up things. I believe there was an earlier post on being
sparing with the lubricant, and not to use WD40 or anything
like that.

I'll also have to I.D. what fan is making the noise. It's not real
loud, I just don't know if that is SOP for this model. A little
lube can't hurt, and while I don't think there's too much dust,
it can't hurt to take a look.

It's got lots of ventilation, it's the only thing on the desk besides
my monitor and the UPS.
