Are vantec 120mm slealth fans available? How much?

Apex had one piece which I bought for around 760/-. :)

I still feel the 120mm Pabst fan I have is the best of all the fans I have seen - solid German quality !!

DUH !!! Yes of course you are right !! ....PAPST it is....

Here is a picture of the fan ....



I have had it for about 10 years the manufactring date is stamped on fan 32nd week of 1993. Last week I removed this fan after years of use - I have now replaced this with a Vantec fan.

My fan is the 4312 MS here are details of the 4312 M (the last in the list) the S in my fan indicates that it has the 3rd wire for speed indication.

whoa!!! 39dBA....too loud for me :(

...but ...but... I always ran it at 7v so I never heard any sound from it. REALLY !!!

... and ... it is a 2300RPM fan compared to the 1500RPM of the 120mm Antecs and Vantecs. Another reason for it being more noisy.
