Leo, the best fan source I've found yet is surplus A1000 power supplies.
They can be had for $15-25, and they come with the quietest fan I've
never heard. :-)
I pulled the fan from my 2000's power supply, and mounted a 1000 fan on
the outside of the case (right bolt pattern, but far too thick to go
inside). You do have to put a load resistor on the terminals that
provide +12V to the stock fan, and you've now got one more AC line cord
to mess with, but I've got silence at last!
Anyone wanna buy an A2000 fan, or an A1000 power supply without a fan?
