You're nuts. They're a dime a dozen. Shitcan, replace, save half hour
of your time, move on.

It really is a throw away society. Shame they it isn't a titanium
housed, precision bearing equipped, 100 year lifespan fan, but the fact
is that it isn't.

My time is worth far more than that. Spending the weekend working on a
new Home Theater/Gaming machine was far more satisfying.

The truly dumb part of this idiot's thread is that it got cross posted
to so many groups. I have had the same PC for the last 5 years, and this
skytard idiot has gone through what? 4 machines in that time? Dust?

BULLSHIT! Total and utter stupidity is the reason.

A half hour for servicing a fan??? Even when I lived almost across
the street from Fry's Electronics, it took me less time to clean &
lube a fan than to buy a new one.

No, they don't, because nobody presses there on purpose.

As clueless newbies try to open the fan, and try to clean it they most
certainly will ! ;)

Bye,
Skybuck :)
