I just got one of those case slot fans from compusa for $9.99. My CPU temp is 49c idle. (although it is about 80F) in my room right now. I'm thinking of picking up a 2nd fan and putting it in the front of my case. But I want to find out where I can buy a 2nd fan cheap online. (compusa had the above fan on sale. Regular price was $19.99). Thanks folks!

I ussually try and find what I am looking for at online surpuls wharehouses. Alot of times you can get fans "removed from old equipment" for real cheap. Most of the time they have no specs for them other than the size and voltage. So if it has a picture try and see if you can see a make and modle #. Then search for the specs online.

Or you can try http://www.svcompucycle.net/

Happy hunting.

I got my good fans from ebay. I bid on like 40, bidding half-3/4 what they are worth. I got a few that way, but it can take awhile before results come in.

Best Byte Computers has 80mm fans for $3 and only charges $5 for shipping via USPS (up to about 2 lbs I believe).

Dude, do not pay $20 for a fan. Even if you do not go looking for the deals mentioned above, 80 mm fans ought to cost less than half that much.

Personally, I have bought fans from

http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/

and

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/

Generally, theycost about $8 no matter what you buy...

anybody know about this fan?

Looks like a good deal at nexfan. Only $2.00. They kinda nail you on shipping but still it looks okay. Can I put this fan in my power supply?
