Sure, you could try pulling the power supply out of the case, cracking it open, and swapping out the fan. You'd just need to pull the dimensions and grab a replacement of the exact same size. If there isn't a dedicated connector on the PSU board—meaning if it’s soldered directly onto the circuit—you might have to get a bit hands-on and solder the wires together. Red to red, black to black, I guess.
Is anyone actually still using the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM? If so, I’d love to hear some thoughts on it—specifically regarding the image quality, color accuracy, features, and the available ports, etc.
These extra fans don't have anything to do with the PSU fan; that fan needs to be spinning at all times. A burning smell coming from the power supply is definitely not a good sign.
Usually, ASUS motherboards aren't super picky about MHz differences or which manufacturer you go with. But, if you really want to avoid any headaches, I’d suggest selling that Crucial 667 MHz stick and just picking up another Kingston 800 MHz one. That way, you'll have a matched set of 2x2 GB. Right now, your memory is stuck running at 667 MHz because the BIOS is automatically downclocking that second 800 MHz stick to match the slower one. If you had two 800 MHz sticks, they'd actually run at that speed. As for that 1066 MHz stuff, the manual basically says, "Whether 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used."

It’s because you didn't mention that in your first post. If you had, we could have just looked up the model number in the specs and seen exactly which file formats and drive sizes your TV actually supports.
That isn't going to fix your issue. You need the exact same version of Windows 7, and even then, there's no guarantee your product key will actually work.
Take a look at these IPS monitors and pick whichever one fits your budget best. My suggestion would be either the Samsung or the Apple if you're willing to stretch your budget just a little bit beyond $333.
Take a look at those posts from Mark Anderson90 above. He’s running the exact same card you had before it died, so check out what people suggested to him.
Edit: My bad, I completely missed that we're talking about an AGP Nvidia 7600 GT here.
You'll probably have to hunt one down on Craigslist or eBay.
