Broken Creative GeForce Annihilator Pro Fan

[Heinrich]

...has one of the worst fans (well documented) ever. Well mine finally bit the dust, it makes horrible sounds. I want to put it into a PC for my parents but I need to fix the fan before I do that. Anyone know a simple and cheap fan solution

Crystal Orb seems to be a common replacement. Cheap, effective, good looking. I have two of them myself on a GeForce 3 and GeForce 2 and am happy with their performance.
