a lot of the graphics cards use a standard size fan with a standard power connector so in theory you could just pick up a peice of crap card from a pc junk shop for a couple of bucks and fit it to your card.

Having said that 'a lot' doesnt mean all so it may not be an option for you.

BTW: My FX5200s fan just packed up and as the fan housing was made of metal I have chosen to disoconnect the power cable and am using the dead fan as a heatsink instead - no problems yet... finger crossed!
