[linux-help] Re: CPU fan suggestions

John -

All I can say personally is... it seems that I have to replace fans on my
computers about every year.. for something that runs 24/7 that is not too
bad of an investment of less than $20....

Also it seems that most computer fans that I have found only have a 90 day
warranty... be glade that you are not having to replace them every 91
days...
