$5.99 at Jab-Tech: note, have never ordered anything from them, and
their web site is sort of a nigtmare:

I've had good luck with 1coolPC.com
 
I checked each of the sites mentioned in the above threads and none of
them have the correct configuration I need.
It is a 45mm x 45mm x 10mm but the screw holes are small tabs.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Can the fan be mounted to the heatsink using metal screws going in
between the heatsink fins? Alternatively you could superglue the fan to
the fins. I have used both methods without any problems.

What is the VGA card model?

While I am not a big fan of "twinkling" products, perhaps this will fit:

Evercool VC-RE Twinkling VGA Cooler

The VC-RE is a strong Cooler for VGA chipsets. The pure copper folded
fin design and mirror finished base produce excellent results under
challenging temperature environments.

Blue & Red LEDs produce lighting effects and the push-pin design makes
mounting the cooler both quick and easy. The metal spring clip makes
installation secure and does not allow the cooler to "skate" on the GPU.

Retail Packaged, includes (1) 3 Pin to 4 Pin Power Adapter & a tube of
Evercool Silver Grease.

Specifications:

Dimension 45 x 45 x 10mm
3 Pin TX3 Connector
12VDC
Rated Current .11A
Power Consumption: 1.32W
Fan Speed: 5000RPM +/-10%

I replaced a failed fan on a Geforce Ti200 with a Vantec Iceberg 4, as I
recall, but, even though that was not a high powered card, it didn't
seem to cool it all that well.

Here is Iceberq 5: may work a bit better, looks like it fits lots of cards:

Thermaltake unit with push pins: sounds like that is what you are
looking for:

Look under "small fans" for:

A.) 45mm Four Pin Fan: 45mm ball bearing fan with 4 pin power supply
connection and pass through. Lifetime warranty. $8.00 plus S&H
Specifications: 7.2cfm, 5300rpm, .06 Amps, 0.7 Watts, 12 Volts DC

And lastly, from Newegg: maybe this?

different mounting holes to fit ATI and NVIDIA chips
The cooler is a solid copper heat sink with a transparent LED fan, and
the mirror finish on the heat sink is definitely a plus to cool your VGA
card and keep your PC looking great. It is also a quiet cooler!
A different fan cover can be changed as a user’s desire, and while the
LED fan is running, it creates a beautiful optical effect

Perhaps with the card model and manufacturer someone can come up with
something better.
