Where can I buy old components - Pentium 2 fan needed .....

[hungryhorace]

I'm trying to make an old PC run quietly. The problem is the CPU fan, which I'd like to replace (I've tried and failed to mend it).

Does anybody know where I can get an ordinary CPU fan to fit onto a Pentium 2 466Mhz ordinary heatsink?

Any help would be much appreciated!

hit up pricewatch.com ... there should be more than a few listings for the fan you need. Matt Laski

This site is great!

I should have mentioned that I live in the UK, so unfortunately I can't buy any of pricewatch.com's products (without paying crazy shipping).

If anybody knows of a UK site that can help me out, please let me know!

(careful - you can get burned on auction sites - only buy from vendors with high ratings)

or try

http://www.scan.co.uk

- these guys are great, but might not have older components.

Hope this helps

Have you actually paid up for this fan?
Because I have one for free if you want it?

Just a note for people who live in the uk:
All sort of yesterday’s technology could be bought from CPC including CPU fans.
Tel:08701 202530.
Another way to do it is to by a CPU heat sink and fan (fan must have same diameter and fitting as yours) and just replace the fan.
