Does anyone know a web page preferably with pictures where it shows how I can remove the cooler that came with my GeForce2 MX400? Thanks in advance!

OK, now the fan's out, but there's still that blue thing with ribs the fan was lying in (it's called a passive cooler, isn't it?). Now I am REALLY stumped. There are no screwes whatsoever left and the only logical choice I see is to tear the blue thing off, which I am afraid to do. Any ideas?

Yeah, well the thing is I have to. See, the fan is totally busted (it started to sound like a buzzsaw three days ago) and one of my friends was decent enough to go buy me a ThermalTake Crystal Orb. But, I have to mount it myself, because none of the computer shops would do it for me, since that would mean no more guarantee and stuff like that. So, does that mean I'm screwed? (God, I hope not)

Take back the ORB, get a new fan like the one you removed & be done with it!
