OT: Local Source for CPU Cooler Fan?

[Sean]

I think just about any local vendor that builds athlon boxes will have
one since the OEM versions of the chips don't come with them.

Digilink is probably where I would go since they have a good chip
selection, and there is a place on the west side I can't think of the name
of atm that has treated me well too but its not like I have been shopping
for X86 crap lately either.

I really don't think you will have a hard time finding a fan.
And honestly I would send it back just because that is why you paid the
$$for the non-oem version in the first place..and it might void your
warrenty.
