I have two 8500s - one is a 132 and the other a 180. The older one (132)
has a fan that is quite loud; the newer 180's fan is very quiet.

Is it possible to replace the noisy fan with a quieter one? If so, where
would I go on the web to get one? Or perhaps a local store of some
sort...

A word of warning: it could be that your 8500 (the 132) has a naturally
loud fan, but when a fan gets loud it can also be a signal that it may
fail soon.
