Where can I buy a replacement Fan in NZ?

It is available on Amazon though.

Its a 70mm 12V , 0.13A COFAN fan. Most computer shops have the common 80mm fans

My TIVO fan is very noisy and its of an erratic nature ie: with some quite periods.

I have:

Taken it out and cleaned the dust off.
Put some some silicon oil in the bearing and ran it for for a while with the sticker side facing down so that oil penetrates and is spread evenly.
Put it back and it is very quiet.

But I believe this will be for a short period before I need a new fan.

Hi

Highly recommended.
I've ordered from them three times before.
Quick and reliable.

I often visit their site because I hate noisy PCs
