In my PC, I can hear a grinding/rattling noise. It's not coil whine as i hear that very clearly.

It appears to be from the front case fans, however it is not a consistent noise. Is the fan bearing starting to die?

Are front case fans hard to wire/replace?

Open the case and use your finger to stop the case fans you suspect. Touch gently and you can stop them to see if the noise follows. Case fans are easy to mount and could be run to a fan header, splitter, SATA/Molex connector, so just pay attention to how it comes out and putting back in shouldn't be too difficult.

I personally like Arctic brand fans, for the money I think they are a smart choice.
