Mobo…..it’s 70 to 100 sovs versus a tenner for the fan. The global recession is in my pocket too. No brainer.
27vet. Great kid!

Robbo,
I’m probably going for this option.
To remove the old fan means a dismantle and removal of the mobo.
The new fan will need to fit (Screw holes) where the old one is, there are no other holes in the area. Hopefully they are all a standard PCD for a given fan diam. The existing one isn’t screwed in, it’s one-off push/bent platic rivets, hence one needs to get round the back and snip them off.

Nowthen, after dismantle/removal/repair and replace mobo, does the team think the PC will simply re-boot as if nothing happened? Or will I have to re-install all my drivers?

Excellent memory jogger, thanks.
The Viscount IMO is perhaps the most beautiful turbo prop ever made.

So, Moggy, which of the above are your creations? :D:diablo:

R186 Signal Box?

TV adverts are actually a mix of Sales and Marketing. Normally these skills are a linked but apart (Very very basically, Marketing creates or recognises a need and Sales go and close it).
I used to enjoy adverts, they used to be clever. Moggy can introduce correct figures but adverts used to be about 100 times the cost of a 30 minute TV show. They used to perfect the message etc. and use the best available technology. Now, a lot of numpties are making them on a shoestring and it shows.
Go compare is tolerable. The original fella was a famous opera type wasn’t he? He got ill and they’ve swapped him. The Egyptian one is not the same fella as the one hovvering over the BMW.
The adverts also create a brand awareness, which clearly works as you all remember the products from all the “Bad” ads.
Celebrity endorsed…OK, without the celeb. you get Barry BANG. Your call.
Really bad ads…I watch a couple of these just to see what is going on. 30 minutes long, usually for a Fishing Rod and Reel which folds into your wallet, or Keep fit eqipment to get a waist like a wasp. I could not tell you who makes these products or what they are called, having sat through 30 mins of them. Actually, I’m watching which fish are being caught and looking at the wimmin on the keep fit ones. Oh, that fella and his Slicing thing, V slicer. I bought one of these off him in person, in Blackpoo about 15 years ago. Still got it and I still use it.
When we are watching TV, we hit the mute at advert time, not because we don’t like the adverts, but because the adverts are at least 50% more volume than the show and will wake the baby up. The TV firms claim they are not increasing volume at advert times, they are of course 100% lying.
The advert I hated most in all my life was voted the most popular. The Cadbury Smash alien ones. Well, they say (In textbooks) that advertising is aimed at the weakest link in the chain, bottom of the bell curve, -3 Std Deviations of the populations IQ.
Product placement annoys me, it still goes on. BBC don’t do it so much now but it used to be blatent.

Go compare drives me insane, Like Spitfireman I find all these injury claims ones even worse.
If your daft enough to use the wrong tools for the job you don’t need compensation, You need your head testing. Our claim culture takes the p$$s.

Also have a problem perfume adverts at Christmas not sure why but they annoy the hell out of me.

Lee Mack does a great sketch on this, ending with “TELL US WHAT IT ********** SMELLS LIKE!!!”
