Which fan are you talking about? the power supply fan (upper) or the case fan. If it's the power supply get a new power supply. If it's a case fan, they're about $10 and quite generic. You should be able to get a power supply for $20-50.

I would suggest that you buy a new one. Link below is to a place I buy computer parts from. Just be sure to measure the fan size correctly.

PS You probably don't need the super cool LED colored fans. Get a cheap one.

He is talikng about the processor cooling fan that fits on the aluminum heat sink. It is a 70mm fan that is under thermal speed control.

Check ebay, have over 400 cooling fans listed for compaq presario.

thanks for the replies, the fan is the one that shuts on and off per temperature.. keeps unit from overheating i have a tech looking at it.. he says not sure he can find that part for that older pc. i will check out your suggestions..

You could probably buy a complete motherboard with CPU and fan for not much. Older PCs have very little resale value.

What mother board and processor is it. That should be the main thing that matters when looking for a new one. You can put in a new mobo and processor for $100+-. Everything should hook up to it unless Compaq had stuff made to be good for their systems only.

What is the model number or series of the computer?

I did a search with that number but came up blank.

I am parting out an old Compaq computer. Is the part you need the black plastic part that the cooling fan and heat sink clips to. It is screwed to the motherboard with two screws.
If that is what you need I can send it to you.
