try turning on your PC with a certain fan unplugged and see if the noise stops. That goes for all fans, including the power supply one (which you can't unplug, just shove something non-metal in the blades when it's off to stop it spinning round, it won't do any harm to do it for just a few seconds)

if usually does it at startup after being off for several hours then the fan needs lubrication. usually is the psu causing the noise i've found but have seen both the cpu, videocard & case fans do it too.

PSU and Graphics card fans seem to do it the most often since they're usually exposed to the highest levels of heat, but it can happen to any fan, so check them all.
