i have a older computer which runs 24/7 for certain purposes, anyway, the fan on it is one really old 20-30mm? not sure how big it is but its going out and im wondering if they make newer fans that size i can use

a mag lev fan would be very nice

So you know that it's 20-30mm, but you don't know the width? lol

Well, I think that you could easily find a fan to replace it, since I assume that you mean your old fan's depth is 20-30mm, and that is about the standard for most fans. The widths of modern fans range in 60mm, 80mm, 92mm, and 120mm. Try and measure your old fan with the centimeter side of a ruler and then multiply that by 10 - that will be the size in mm that you need. Go to TigerDirect.com (clicky) (http://tigerdirect.com) to get a good fan in one of those sizes :)

I thought ya meant case fan LOL

Anyway, just get a fan with a heatsink. I've tried to find CPU fans without heatsinks, but no one sells them like that.
