Okay, so after starting up, shutting down, or playing a game, my computer makes this terrible "WHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" sound, and won't stop for a while. I know this is a problem with the temperatures, so I cleaned the dust off of them and de-cluttered the areas where the fans are, so it would have plenty of room to breathe. Didn't help. I know I need a new fan, and that's where you come in. Basically, I need a new fan.
[b]tl;dr, I need a new fan that's under 600 bux.[/b]

I don't know man, fans are pretty expensive, you may need around 700-800$
/Sarcasm
are you serious
Haha, fans are wayyyyyyy cheaper than that, don't worry lol.
That's a big budget for a fan.

$600 is not nearly enough for a small plastic fan, you better bump up your budget to 1k-2k.
$600 on fans? What?
What fan do you think it is... Chances are there are more then one fan.
nvm it's probably a troll
No, i'm not a troll. I didn't realize fans were so cheap. Sorry.
Can you say gold plated?
Well, actually, there's some more issues.
I was looking for a better graphics card. My game lags when there are lots of things on screen in Gmod.
Buy one of each?

Empty shopping carts are fun.
What?
The link works fine for me.
pretty obvious troll
[editline]12:04AM[/editline]
or you're just incredibly dumb
I am still very confused.
Look for a link that says share shopping cart/wish list, otherwise that link takes us to our shopping carts, usually empty.
This was OP's wishlist.

You should attempt to make a case completely out of fans, and would still only cost you 100 dollars

He wouldn't be the first. If I remember this correctly the guy who made this used spare fans at his workplace, but had to disassemble it because he didn't want to actually buy them all.

Open up your case OP and locate the squealing fan. I heard some people test by putting their fingers on the center and slowing to see if it changes tone.
