Thanks everyone! After some cleaning and further investigation, I discovered that the power supply fan is binding. I had to "flip" it a few times with a toothpick in order to get it moving, albeit rather slowly.
I suspect that this is driving the internal temperature too high, and is resulting in the other fans running at higher speed. It looks as if I will need to either replace the fan or power supply soon. I know that you replaced your fan, Peter, has anyone replaced the full PSU? If so, how difficult is it?
