Fan on Amp Unbeatable


So, I have an older amp from the 70s. It's a solid state amp and the fan is so loud it's distracting. It's my first largest solid-state amp. I've been using tube amps for the last 15 plus years. I can't imagine fans are supposed to be overwhelming Lee loud. Has anybody else ran into this kind of issue and if so, how did you fix it?

My home theater amp (Lexicon LX-7) has a fan.  I took it in for service for another issue and asked if they could put a quieter fan in while they had it.  It's much quieter now.  I can hear the fan if I put my ear within about a foot of the unit, but beyond that it's inaudible.  
I did something like sleepwalker described with my home theater processor and my Peachtree Nova 300, except I used a usb fan. You should be able to connect the usb fan to a phone charger with a usb outlet.
