Sounds to me like you need to do some re-engineering.  Guesstimate the airflow required and then buy a higher quality muffin fan or similar that will fit in the space (run on the power, etc).  50,000 hour lifetimes are common, and some are even longer.

Another question to look at: How much of the time is the fan running?  If it is running constantly (because a control failed, for example), that may explain the short lifetime.
