Any of the pictures I'm finding for the plain old ATI [Radeon] 9600 are
using passive cooling -- ie, no fan. Perhaps you have a 9600xt or
9600pro? Maybe you have a licensed card, like an *Asus* Radeon 9600.
Maybe you can find a picture online that matches your card.

At any rate, I'm see rigs like this on a lot of those cards:

Apart from the four screws holding the fan to the heatsink, there are a
couple of tension pins (or whatever they're called) that mount the
heatsink to the card. The distance between those pins may well fit a
standard, which would make a third-party replacement viable. Clearance
is pretty close, though, so be prepared for complications.

Alternately, you could probably take the existing fan off, and get a
small case fan (40mm) to mount on the remaining heatsink. The card will
end up being wider, so you might have to move some stuff around in your
case to make it fit, but it should cool as well.

Find a fan and strap it on the card with some wire ties. Connect it to
spare power connector. Done.
