    Either that or the computer is running too hot...but it seems like the fan is much louder then it used to be. Where should i get a new one for a Inspiron 6000?

    You may want to consider first cleaning the fan & see how it goes... It may just be the accumulation of dust that is making the fan work extra hard & this may explain why the fan is sounding louder than before.

    Clean the air vents out it might not be letting the hot air ut because of dust

    How did you clean it? I would say the best way is to get a bottle of compressed air and blow it in short spurts through each fan vent.
