Dimension 4550 CPU Fan Replacement

I got my Dell Dimension 4550 in April 2003 and now the CPU Fan (the only fan) is making a loud humming noise and I want to replace that fan but I don't know what the specifications are for the fan.

Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

    Call Dell and ask for Spare Parts. If you use a third-party fan, you'll get a bootup error each time you start the system.

    Just to be sure ,you should found out if you have Dell's power supply and motherboard or the standard ATX ,here are 3 ways to find out. If it says you have a intel motherboard then you can use a standard atx psu.If it says no intel board detected then you have a Dell board and psu ,if you put in a atx pcu with Dells board it will fry.http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-009009.htm-
