in short: Question #0: what alternative can I find for this fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4&cm_re=KD1208PTS1-_-9SIAAES4155624-_-Product
as
Ships from China. Most customers receive within 9-18 days.
same for amazon - I did find on eBay but will take 5 days ...

but I was hoping to fix moms PC ASAP...

pix of fan can be found on http://imgur.com/a/AvY1S

Q2 - I guess anything under 2.6W is OK (or 0.22A if at 12V) is OK?

anything like

amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...ords=fan+80x25mm+2W&rh=i:aps,k:fan+80x25mm+2W
or
newegg - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ESTMATCH&Description=+80mm+2W&N=-1&isNodeId=1

any exact link you can share to what would work - takes out guess work - much appreciated ?

in details:
so a speaker fell on my moms PC
and Power Supply Unit fan is making a loud noise when spinning - I guess from the impact something got misaligned

Q3 - any ideas what it could have been?

anyway I took the PSU apart to see what fan I should order - and I broke off the black wire :/ tried to solder it back onto the fan to no avail ...

so the fan is at 12V 2.6W

Q4 - will another 12V 0.25A work on it (pictured) - that's 12*0.25 = <b>3W - while my fan was at 2.6W</b>

Q5 - or this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006B8E0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

in Q&A says
Label on the back states 0.16 Amp. and ["Power Source 12 V"]
Q6 - I'll just ignore the yellow wire that it comes with?

Q7 - or what would you advise to order at 80x25mm?

any advise is very much appreciated ...

thank you ...

PS
I can order exact one from eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNON-KD120...972250?hash=item2a69578e9a:g:trQAAOSwOVpXT3DN

(but that will take a bit to get to me... I was hoping to fix my moms PC ASAP...)

I hope there is an alternative I can grab from amazon or newegg

please advise ...

thank you ...

If this is not a high end expensive PSU i would probably just buy a new one.
