Epoxy Resin would be my first call to DIY it... it's made for high temperatures and holds strong, give it a try atleast, what have you got to loose.

Is it going to be worth it to repair it?

interesting articles.

learnt a new term: "Video Card Installation Nipples"
now I know what to ask for when I walk into a 2ed hand computer store.. :thumb:
the fan does still works, so it shouldn't be too hard to get repaired
and i'll add some epoxy to hold it into place.
save me 100$ (for moar pedals :facepalm: )
Thanks!
