Replacement fan for an Asus EB-1501?
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 10:31 am
When I got the the EB I knew I paid a little extra for the slot loading DVD drive and integrated IR-receiver, but it was a trade-off I was willing to make, and so far it has been quite an ideal HTPC. But it's quite old by now, and I know I should keep my surroundings a bit more dust-free - alas, I'm somewhat lazy. I've been trying to clean the fan with a combination of "can-air" and a vacuum, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. When the fan finally settles down it is somewhat quiet, but still far from what it used to be - but should I turn it off, it can take some 15-30mins for the fan to settle after turning it on again, and it sounds really, really annoying.
So, any ideas/recommendations where to look for a new one? Overseas shipping is fine as long as it's available online. I know I could just get a new HTPC, but really I don't feel a need to - ION plays 1080p very happily via VDPAU, and XBMC + Torrentflux is handled just fine with Atom.
