who has one and has taken the fans out. It has 2 fans on the side and one of them has the bearings going on. Don't really care to replace it if I don't have to.

Thoughts?
 
I've actually brought some fans like that back to life using a single drop of sewing machine oil in the exposed fan area (usually found under the fan sticker), and hand-spinning the fan to work the oil in. A very inexpensive repair, as that oil usually runs about 1-2 dollars at most places like Walmart, Target, etc.
 
You can run the switch without the fans, however you are going to get all sorts of warnings while working in the CLI. I tried running a few 2724s without fans for a LAN party to cut down on noise, but the ones that didn't overheat were a PITA to configure because it kept giving me fan failure warnings.
