    Hi there people.
    I would like to know if there are any chance to get new fans for the M17, without to send it to repair, just buying it and install them my self.
    Thanks

    Not likely. I think the fans for pretty much every laptop are unique, and you'd probably need to contact Alienware to buy new ones.

    Contact a local computer expert, perhaps?

    If it is within warranty and you have faulty fans you can get alienware to send you replacements free of charge.
