[Cialug] OT: Defunct CPU Fans ?

[David Champion]

I probably have a few old cpu / gpu / ps fans around. Problem is that 
they usually go bad because the bearings wear out - and 99% of them have 
cheap plastic or metal sleeve bearings - even the ones that say "ball 
bearing" on a sticker. I'm guessing you need something to spin very freely.

On that note, does anyone have a good source for decent fans with real 
ball-bearings? I have a couple of otherwise good PSU's, and video cards 
that could be resurrected.
