I need a processor fan for an original G4. Does anyone know where the best place to get one is? Any information would be appreciated.

    First place to look i guess would be ebay. Otherwise I'm sure apple service centers can special order a replacement part.

    The processor doesn't have a direct fan on it, It's a heatsink. This I'm pretty sure is the case fan, which I assume is located right next to the processor. It's kinda expensive. I would think you can get any fan that is the same size,(and probably a higher CFM rate one too for under $8 as www.colorcase.com

    Exactly, the fan cools the heatsink, and sits right next to it.

    Thanks for the link.

    Thanks again everyone - it turned out to be a small fan on the video card that was full of dust. The price of fixing it was free.
