VGA Fan (GTFO Best Buy)

Once again another FAIL at Best Buy. I am never buying anything from Best Buy again. My VGA fan started making some horrible noise and failed. Surprise surprise...

Just took the link from Newegg...


Well anyways I need a new (QUIETER) cooler for my evga 8800gt 512mb. Needs to be under $30.


PS, does anyone know if there is a way for me to salvage the few little LED's in my old fan? They still work and I want to put them to good use ::)


Edit: This one looks OK

Good price...good reviews. I would guess it doesn't have any compatibility problems?? :)
