Case fan for the XPS 8100?
Hi,
Unfortunately, the original case fan (the one on the back) for the XPS 8100 is broken so I need a new one. I've heard people saying that only the OEM fans work but I'm not too sure about this... In short, my questions are:
- Are the OEM ones the only ones that work or are there other models that fit the required specifications (what are they?)?
- If so: which fan would you advise me to buy?
Thanks in advance!

Hi dan0di9,
Just Google "XPS 8100 case fan". About $9.

Thanks for your replies!
Just to be sure: are you guys saying that I'll need to buy the OEM fan?

Hmm... my broken case fan is a Foxconn PVA092G12M, which complies with other people that have a XPS 8100. Are you sure the Sunon fan will work?
At least I hope I'll have different models to choose from because the cheapest PVA092G12M I've been able to find is $25. This is mainly shipping because I live in the Netherlands.
It really feels like a waste to spend $25 on a stock case fan :/
EDIT
Oh, lazy me, I see that the XPS 8100 is listed in the description. Out of curiosity, are there any more models that would be compatible?
EDIT 2
Perhaps I was overcomplicating things... There are different brands I found but they all share the Dell PN X755M. Using this PN, I found this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Vostro-200-400-Inspiron-530-531-Tower-Cooling-Fan-X755M-/360392597313#ht_500wt_1180
This is the cheapest product I was able to find (shipping internationally). What do you think?

I am positive that the SUNON part will work because of the DELL X755M on the label. :emotion-4:
This part works with
Inspiron 530, 400, 531, 546, 545, 560, 580, Dell Vostro 200, 570, and Studio XPS 8100 Desktop , 537, 535
The Foxconn number is also valid for X755M
Take care that the fan that costs $5.95 doesn't have $14 shipping cost added.

Right, so do you think the product I linked will be OK?
As for the shipping costs: I wish it would be more in balance but unfortunately there's little I can do about it.. :)
