I'm looking for a heatsink or fan to put on my video card. It came with a bare chip. Its a Visiontek Xtasy Geforce 2 MX200 32mb agp.

A small cpu fan from a pentium 1 or 386 or something will work fine with some thermal glue right?

I don't want to pay $20 for a small piece of scrap alluminum.

I have a fan rigged from a walkman motor in there right now. :)

Anyone have one they can send me?

well beside the fact that its burning hot, i'd like to be more confidant in it.

This is one of the best "cheap" coolers you can get for the G2 chip sets. I put one on my G2Ti card and it kept it nice and cool even after overclocking the card. You can get the BlueOrb for $10-$15 and it comes with the mounting hardware or you can use a thermal epoxy.
