| Can a power supply fan be replaced easily? Anybody with experience to share? They shouldn't run more than 5,000 won, right? |

very cheap, very easy*
It was pretty much the first PC computer thing I ever tried on my own- no sweat.
*if you've got the right screwdriver and are getting the same fan as you're replacing. |

Pay 5000 won for a power supply and you are asking for trouble. Cheap power supplies don't keep the voltage constant. It could fry your motherboard or other parts.
I recently spent 71,000 on a 450w power supply. I consider that a good buy.
Or do you mean just the fan? Can you seperate the fan from the power supply? I didn't think so. Mine seems intergrated. |

Yes that was obvious; You'll have to excuse Eamo- he's still a newlywed, so these days all his blood is going from his head to his, er, eh- other head...
