thats the CPU fan?
if she has any other fans for a more recent processor that would work fine (providing they fit!)
Maybe opening the case and pointing at it one of those large domestic fans (can't remember a name for it) that people have at home to cool in the summer? :P
A temporary fix until it went to repair... :roll:
Thanks guys...the side off and room fan on sounds OK...somehow, I think she'll need a new one soon! C'est la vie? :roll:
I call em BOX fans lol, I have no clue as to what they are supposed to be called... lolQuote:

good luck with that
Me? I can practically build a pc! :roll: OK slight exaggeration...I've installed disk drives/sound cards/network cards etc! :oops: My sister doesn't have the same blind faith as I! ;) Also, she is actually in the French Alps...an hours drive from the nearest PC shop! :lol:
