They just clip onto the CPU, and come with the fan packaged as an assembly. Other than high-grade commercial systems, the clip-on heatsink fans are awful junk where the plastic starts to crumble within months. These should be around $12 new. I wouldn't spend even $1 on any of the home-grade stuff used, it will be already dying.
Power supply and case fans should be pretty standard sizes, look in the Digi-Key catalog.
