There are various cables, connectors, case and pc accessories, 92mm Scythe, Panaflo, and Nexus fans, and more among the items for sale. Most if...

Re: Looking for a good size 12 volt fan for cellar ventilati

Here is a company that manufactures good quality solar products. I have had the attic fan for several years and am very happy with it.

Duke....have you looked at the SPCR Lab Clearance Corner post, MikeC has listed 2 of this case for sale. One is new and one review sample.

If you are located near the NorthWest US shipping might not be too high.

I've been using a variable output power supply (3v to 12v DC) available at MPJA.com. It will handle up to 2A, most 12v "SPCR suitable" fans are around .5A or less. Voltage is variable at 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, and 12 volts. Accuracy is +/- .1v at all settings when checked with a multimeter. It is comple...

McMaster.com

You could order from http://www.mcmaster.com/ on page 1316 of the online catalog.

Depending on fan size you would want either K6 or K8. They are sold in packs of 20 for approximately $.50 each.

I've made several purchases from Provantage over the past few years. Bought a trackball, several removable hard drive carriers, a KVM and an Antec NSK6500.

Never had a problem, good prices and fast service.

Haven't had the need to return anything, so not sure how they are for RMA.

Same case as the 3700AMB by Antec but without the door.

Directron.com also carries this case w/out a PSU (look for Compucase LX-6A19), but the front bezel is not all black, the front intake vents are silver.

I've got three drives suspended in a homemade rack that is sitting on the bottom of my case. After 3 1/2 months there is no sagging at all that I can detect.

You do bring up a good point, I was wondering about that too. Probably should check for that on a 3 month interval.

So far so good :D
