iMac G4 fan replacement

The fan in an iMac G4 is getting quite noisy... cleaning doesn't affect it, so probably I'll have to replace it. One from Apple cost around 30 - 40 $, which is a lot for a fan. Is it possible to get a cheap fan from my local PC-shop, and if yes, what kind of fan is it (in therms of rpm, voltage...) ?

ususally i peel off the back

ususally i peel off the back sticker and re-oil that bearing you see, then put the sticker back on.

i usually use that light machine oil, but 10w30 works too

just a couple of drops...
