fan died, need advice

ok so my cooling fan died (the fan that sucks air in to cool things down, I assume thats called the cooling fan) and I need to buy a new one but I'm abit clueless about what to buy...

the dead one is a DC Brushless - Model ASB0812HH by Delta Electronics inc. (searched for it online but didn't find it and ended up more confused, figured if I found it it would help me figure out what I need to know to buy one)

specs if it matters - (copy and paste from Belarc Advisor)

I do have a tower, the fan is located above the power supply thingy. I'll take it out and try to find a place around here to buy a new one. I think theres a place an hour from here that might sell them, I'll cross my fingers! lol

The fan actually died last Dec but because of bills I had to pay and I had to wait I've been running it with the case open and house fan blowing in it to keep it from overheating

This sucker Hates most games I wish some of you guys lived near me then I could get you have a look at it and figure out what its problem is!

 

Yeah thats just a standard case fan. Should just be a matter of unscrew, put in new one, plug in and you're off. You can get em online quite easily

One of them would do you

 

Thanks Goldfish I'm hoping to get a ride to the store, that I mentioned in my earlier post, in alittle while (to far for me to drive with my illness)

I was also told I may be able to get a free computer for my daughter there so that gives me two reasons to go and check it out. If I can't get one there then I'll order one online. I couldn't stand the thought of paying someone to do it for me when it looked simple enough to replace.
