I have a Chaintech GeForce 7300 GT, and the fan is dying. I'm having a hell of a time finding a cheap replacement heatsink/fan. I can't find anywhere if this Zalman VF700-CU is compatible:

but perhaps it is more worthwhile to just get a new card. I'm researching replacement cards. Another 7300 gt? I'd really like the Galaxy, as it comes with a Zalman cooler - it looks like the one above, so perhaps that is compatible, after all.
Anyway, is there a card available now, which will run older games, like System Shock 2, Thief 1, Thief 2, Jedi Knight 1 and 2, and Aliens vs. Predator?
I just don't know where to begin, and I don't want to spend more than $100.
I would be grateful for any advice.

Thank you, Bikerdude. I've been wondering about the Iceberq 4 - I could find no confirmation anywhere that it's compatible with the 7300 GT.
Hmmm, 7900 GTX. Looks nice.
Are current (or still available/in stock) cards just hopeless?
What are we going to do in the coming years?

Both coolers are universal, so should fit your card. I can vouch for the evercool as I have fitted one to my ancient Geforce 5900 :cheeky:, it comes with 3 different sized clips plus the evercool has and LED built in so looks as cool and it runs..
