So, after taking apart my computer and opening my power supply just to measure the size and specs of the fan, I ordered a few replacements. Only problem is the pin conversion: 3 pin female on the fan, 2 pin male on the power supply.



Anyone know where I can get one of these converters? I found only one website with them, but it's a shady Yahoo site. After my recent bad experience loosing over $100 to one of those, I'll never shop at a Yahoo site again. Are there any reputable sources for these things?

Or is Bitt right, am I going to blow up my power supply by trying to replace the fan? I don't know enough about electronics to make that determination. All I know is I don't want to throw out a perfectly functioning 300W power supply because of the manufacturers planned obsolescence by using the cheapest fan with the shortest lifespan that they possibly could.
