I found a Quadro 2 Pro for a reasonable price, partly because it was missing the fan assembly. I had something on hand that worked, but it didn't look right. I saw a listing for a correct fan assembly, but they wanted $30.00, which was too high for me. Then I found an FX 5500 with bad caps that had just what I needed, and I got it for $8.56 shipped. At some point I'll try recapping it (I'm afraid to even try it as is), but for now I just needed the fan assembly.
If you bought this from eBay, I'm pretty sure I was watching this same listing. I kept trying to lowball the seller but he wouldn't take the bait.
Yes, and I also made an offer before deciding that I might be waiting a long time before finding another of these for less that $100.00. Finding the FX 5500 so I could salvage the fan was serendipitous.
