If it is a specific fan that is making the noise, pull it out, clean and oil it, and you may find that the noise stops. If the noise is from vibration you can use rubber gromets/spaces between the fan and the case in order to 'insulate' the fan and the case.

As for 'Case insulation' - you can buy specific - but expensive - sound proofing material, but carpet underlay or something similar also does an adequate job.
