These look like CPU fans. This should answer your question.

this indicates cpu 1
mb = mainbaord
p1 = processor 1
f1 = fan 1 (there are two little fans but you have to replace the complete cooler)

well technically, its possible to replace just one fan. but its hard to find fans with 3 wires: Fan failure

it all depends on how much money he wants to waste.
