Hydra Fan FAIL

See pics. No idea how it happened, but I came home to a very smelly vinotemp. Upon further inspection, the pic shows what I found.

Guess I'm lucky, this probably could've caught fire, and I wouldn't have been there to smell the glorious-ness of all those smokes burning at the same time.

It's just this one fan though. The fan controller and other fans are working fine. I just gotta get that burnt plastic smell out of my humi.

Anyone know where to get a replacement fan? I don't need the whole kit, just a fan.

It's a 30mm computer fan. They do burn out sometimes. How long had you had it?

i think its a 40mm x 10mm, but heartfelt has replacements. I've had it about 2 years, but it rarely ever runs. Maybe twice a week at most. I think they're rated for like 30k hours or something crazy. This had to be a power related blowout, although its running off a UPS, so I doubt it was a spike. Maybe it seized?
