Unfortunately, modding the case to easily accept replacement fans without opening it will void the warranty. But, if I had these problems, I would mod the case so the fan sits on top of the case and the wiring was somehow routed outside the case. Wouldn't solve the problem, but would make replacement a whole lot easier. Small 5v fans can be found at many electronic places (allelectronics.com, bgmicro.com, etc) at a cheap price.

But, some people have found that securing some type of grill/mesh on top of the case helps make the fan last longer. Some cheap screen door mesh would probably work well.
