Yes.  Funny you should ask... I replaced the fan in my II last weekend
based on some information that I downloaded from FidoNet last week, and
I'm in the process of writing up step-by-step instructions on how to do
it.  I'll post the whole mess by the end of the week.

It took me 45 minutes, and cost me about $16 to do the replacement;
the new fan is about 70% quieter (subjective measure).
