While there is some standardization of fan sizes, there is no way of
knowing what particular size your power supply requires without opening
it and looking. Fans are available from many suppliers, including one I
often use http://www.cyberguys.com Given the low cost of power supplies,
the relatively high cost of a fan, and the trouble it would take to
replace it, I would not recommend doing so unless you are a hopeless
electronics tinkerer - unfortunately for me, I am among the latter
myself!

My power supply fan is noisy as all get out when I turn on my computer
each day, and after about two minutes it quiets right down and works and
sounds great. I'd like to get a new fan to have on hand when this one
quits. Are these fans one size fits all? And where's a good place to buy
one? Thanks.

Walt
