AARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
Finding replacement parts is even more of a pain in the ass that finding the problem!
Get this!
The card is an Nvidia e-TNT2 M64 with an Nvidia fan following these specifics:
Dimensions= 40mm x 40mm x 10mm
2 PIN power hookup
I've gone to: Fry's, Micro-center, 2 local stores, websites (pricewatch, Nexfan.com, evga.com, etc), and even chat sites.
AND NATCH!!! Some fans will fit the dimensions but the 2 pin power won't match. I can't go risking buying a 3-4 pin hookup since it might not work. For crazy overkill, I COULD get an adapter, there have been ones for 3 to 4 pin, but none for 2 to 3. This is absolutely nuts. All I need is one lousy stinking fan costing less than 8-10$. And nothing. SHEESH!
SUGGESTIONS! COMMENTS! CIGARETTE FOR THE CONDEMMED?! [soapbox]
PS. I chatted a bit with the "A+ certified" person behind the counter at Fry's and he's telling me that it's hopeless. And they don't carry it. NO SHIT! Damned fool! Dashing my hopes like that AND pissing me off!
