Dead GPU Fan

I woke this morning and found my secondary box displaying a single line of junk at the top of the screen. My Geforce3 ti200?300? fan finally crapped out. Can i replace the fan and it will be good as new? Or is it permanently screwed?
Any suggestions for a replacement? I don't use it for gaming much anymore, but i'd like something decent.
 
you can always fab your own heatsink for that, not really worth the trouble though.

list your system specs so we can recommend a card that won't be limited by a cpu/ram bottleneck.

It seems the video card is OK. But the fan is out and i don't want to run it too long without the fan.
specs:
P3 997MHz
512MB pc133 RAM
Geforce3 ti200

I think I'll just replace the cooler since i found a replacement for $11 shipped. Can't beat that right?
 
Wow...yeah...that's not the beefiest system in the world.

Go with the replacement fan. Like you said, pretty tough to beat.

If you wanted a cheap upgrade, you can always go with this - $30

edit - originally though it was the ti500, noticed it's just the "Pure." Still a faster card than the ti200.

I had a fan in my ti500 go out years ago. I just got one of those 486 CPU coolers with the fan attached to it, took the fan off of it, and soldered the GPUs fan header to it. I think the cooler was around $6 at my local PC shop. I bet one of those round Vantec coolers would have fit it too.
