    Is it the CPU fan, or just a normal case fan? You should be able to get a replacement of either in the likes of peats, maplins etc or online. If you need to replace the CPU fan you will also need to buy thermal paste to re apply once the cpu cooler is replaced

    Is it your case fan or the CPU fan? If it is the case fan just get another that is the same size usually they are 120mm or 80mm, If it is the CPU Heatsink you will need one that fits that processor socket.

    Edit: beaten to it again.

    yep, as i said they are usually 120 or 80mm. You can google them for reviews if you want a silent one or one that is good at cooling, if not just get any auld fan.

    Have a look on adverts there are often fans for sale on there.

    I had little or no experience when i built my first pc. Its like lego putting it together. Google and Youtube are great plus you get manuals with your mobo etc that guide you through things. The lads over in the PC Building & Upgrading forum will help you pick out the parts too.

    what you have is the same as a vga cable its only to view the picture if you have a pair of pc speakers just plug them into your laptop for the sound.

    I have a similar setup in my living room if you have a good hi fi system or home theatre system with an aux out you can just buy an rca to 3.5mm jack lead here is a link to one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.ie/3-5MM-STEREO-JACK-2-MALE-RCA-PHONO-CABLE-LEAD-13-/160564557145?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item256264b559#ht_2313wt_877 all you do is connect that lead to the aux out on the back of your hi fi and plug the other end into you headphone input on your pc or laptop
