things anywhere in the uk? The board with fan is pictured here...

Most CPU fans are 8cm and heatsink fans are 4cm. Unless it has
nonstandard pinning or nonstandard fittings any fan should do.

Are you talking about the cooling fan on the chipset(northbridge ?) or the
actual CPU fan.

If it`s the chipset fan then I disconnected mine when it got really noisy
about a year ago and it has had no ill effects as long as you are not
overclocking.

Sorry, I miss-typed "chipset fan" in my original post. :-/

Well this one gets too hot then reboots the system when the fan
stops but if it's kept running all is well. And it's not
overclocked, it's an XP1600+ running at 1.4GHz.

I've got a couple of old 486 coolers, but if you look at the pic
in that URL, you'll notice the mounting screws are much different
and there's even a kind of spring-loaded arrangement on the
original.
