A few weeks ago one of my 510's blew it's PSU, not the usual dead PSU (cap death) but a charred burning wreck of a PCB. Luckily the damage was contained inside the PSU housing and it caused no damage to the other components.
I still have two 510's and they are in use almost daily but they are coming up to 10 years old, both have been upgraded to the same specification. The blown PSU made me want to do a little refurbishment in the PSU and fan area.
PSU's were the easy part, I picked up two new PSU's from eBay. Unfortunately one of the new PSU's had a high pitched whining noise but the seller is replacing it this week, I got mine from here and I can't recommend the seller enough - excellent service.
The CPU and GFX fans are where it gets tricky, I can't find a reliable source for these anywhere. I'm not too concerned about these specific part numbers but I can't even find 50mm PWM fans at all.
GFX Fan: AFB0512MB - 50x50x15mm - 4-pin PWM

CPU Fan: AFB0512MD - 50x50x20mm - 4-pin PWM

Has anyone had any luck finding these fans or something close to them? I'm starting to think it's going to be faster, cheaper and all round easier to try fitting some entirely new 1u heatsink/fan units and ditch the existing cooling entirely.
