I bought an old PC to use as a second PC. Everything is fine, except for one thing. The CPU fan is terribly loud!

I did a lot with PCs but I never did much with CPU fans.

If I want to replace it, what do I have to look for? The fan is 8cm long on each side and 11cm diameter. It is just clipped to the cooler. The PC is a P4 3 GHz.

I don't want to spend much money, as I only paid 50 euro for the whole PC.

I would prefer to buy a fan for 1-3 dollar or something at eBay but I am not quite sure which one I should buy (which fits). Can you advise?
