There's a computer shop near me that sells them, but since you probably don't live in Perth, Australia that is unlikely to help you. I have three Nvidia video cards that came with fans - 2 TNT2s and a Geforce 4 - in various computers. The TNT2 fans died after a few months and the cards have been running fine for close to two years (?) with the fans removed. I removed the fan on the Geforce 4 to keep the noise level down and it too seems to work fine. Cameron.
