Who would you recommend for purchasing new cooling fans from? I need to replace one or both fans. It seems as though one of the fans keeps struggling to reach full speed; as it will spool up and then start over again continuously. I plan on using the online instructions from ifixit.com.

Most of the time I can get away with not running the fans, but any kind of online steaming video will trigger the fans and of course DVD's will too.

Thank you for listening.

Yes I can, but they were out of one of the fans the last time I checked. It looks as though they have since replenished their stock.

Thank you sir.
