Where do you guys buy your fans?

[madoka]

I'm looking to but 3-4 120mm fans (probably Panaflos) and was wondering where you like to buy your fans. Newegg seems to charge a lot for shipping fans and other small items. Is there a particular model of Panaflo 120mm I should be looking at? These fans will be going into some Antec cases I have (Sonata, SLK1600, SLK1650, and P160). Thanks!

I bought my Papst from Directron.

well coolerguys, has these on sale for 9.75. But the shipping for 4 fans is 7.67. So that is a little better deal then newegg.

Coolerguys if I'm not in a rush, FCPU if I am. Both are good etailers though.

I buy mine at my local hometown computer shop. He may not always have the lowest prices, but it's nice to just go pick up what I want/need rather than having to order it.

I recently bought a couple fans from Sidewinder. Reasonable prices and they don't jack up shipping. A small order like a few fans will go out USPS Priority for around 4 bucks.

....found them to have the best selection and prices for fans and other computer cooling accessories.

http://www.bgmicro.com . They carry an eclectic selection of fans at pretty low prices, but sometimes you have to do some rewiring as they are often are not specifically for use in PCs.

i hate directron because of their price gouging, the prices they charge for those fans are ridiculous. also for hard to find FBK panaflo fans, check out www.thermalfx.com

I haven't seen a Panaflo that is only 25mm thick, so generally you can only use them in the back on most Antec cases as they are generally a tight fit in the front. The JMC Datech fans that bgmicro sells are pretty quiet and push lots of air but they have a non-standard connector with a different color code than is normally seen on PC fans.

I found this company while doing a search for 80mm case fans: Nexfan. I've not ordered from them, but they seem to have a decent select and prices on their fans. Does anyone know more about them? I assume, based on the name, that they would tend to specialize in fans.

I've bought fans at SVC, zipzoomfly, newegg, frozenCPU and BuyExtras. All of these places are reliable and they have good and various inventory. But now, I always check Sidewinder Computers. On the matter of fans, they really aim to please. It appears that they test everything, as much as I recall my correspondence with their tech guy. And their tech guy -- at least for me -- answers e-mails substantively -- very personable and helpful. They know their business concerning fans. If you check the variety they have in stock, you'll see and probably agree.

I used CPUtopia.com for a couple of Powmax thermal controlled 80mm Red. They were delivered for $10.55, about $5 less than everyone else I looked at
