Good price :-)
My Aria has a separate fan to cool the FX5200 VGA card. Is a fan
required for the VGA card in an Iyonix computer? If so it is worth
renewing them after a year or two. Increased noise is a sign that the
bearings are going and the fan efficiency falls off rapidly which may in
turn damage the VGA card. Maplin usually stock them.
All the best
