GeForce 1 Fan Replacement

I need to get a new fan for my GeForce 256 -- It's the Leadtech winfast one, if that makes any difference. From what I've googled, the popular fans like Blue or Crystal Orb don't fit on the GF1 board. Where can I get a fan that will fit? I just need something cheap and preferably quiet. The original fan is dying on it.
 
That's strange, because I clearly remember having no problems attaching a blue orb to my Leadtek Winfast Geforce DDR (rev. B) board. The only difference is that your powering the fan off of a motherboard header (or using appropriate converter) rather than the graphics card.

But the blue orb isn't a necessity.... it will offer better cooling performance which may aid overclocking, but it is not the only possible replacement. I believe companies like coolermaster do a small low-profile chipset/vga hs/fan unit that will not take up an extra PCI slot of space, just a question of finding one.
