Replacing the fan in ReadyNAS Duo - possible?

I don't know if some people are very sensitive to certain noises more so than others, but some members in the past have complained about the noise level of almost every ReadyNAS made. I have an NV+ that some think is noisy and I hear the drives over the fan, the same thing is true of my NVX units. I may be fortunate three times and gotten quiet units, or they may be more sensitive than others.

Also keep in mind that if you have a home network, you don't have to have the unit right beside you. Anywhere you have a good wired connection, it will probably be happy. Some people even use rack mounted units that are definitely noisy (fans run full speed all the time as they were designed for use in server rooms, not next to users), but they are in a basement location.
