Just curious who else does this, when I get ahold of a new (old) PC, I always completely disassemble everything to thoroughly clean it, including the PSU, and I figure since I'm in there I may as well replace all the fans. Most of those old fans are going on 20-25 years old or more by now and those bearings don't last forever. To me it's cheap insurance as decent fans can bet purchased for a few bucks each. Or am I overthinking it? Granted I've only had a fan fail a handful of times, but since they're so cheap I'd just rather have new ones.
