Extremely cheap Nexus 120mm fans + a nice seller

Post by mastabog » Wed Jul 04, 2007 4:14 am

I've recently bought 3 of our most celebrated Nexus 120mm fans and also 3 of those silent Nexus Frizzbee HDD coolers from ebay:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GoatSurfer-Technology

120mm Nexus fans at 4.99 pounds is the lowest price I've ever found anywhere on the internet for these fans. Interestingly enough, the black/white fans with the same specs are 6.99 ... no idea why.

There is a discount for multiple items and for the last order (the 3 hdd coolers) the seller was nice enough to scrap an additional 2.55 pounds off the shipping price bringing it down to 3 pounds. Communication with the seller was great (customer satisfaction oriented, being kept informed about shipping, etc). From what I can tell, he might agree to ship abroad too, if he doesn't already.

This is no propaganda :), I'm just happy with the purchase and I thought some of you might be interested considering the price.

I just bought 4 from novatech in the uk, 4.72 inc vat.

one had been squashed by the royal mail and had a support broken, I emailed them asking for a replacement and they sent one out straight away in a very padded box. great service.

Now to fit them in my p180

Well, darn! ... haven't found those.

With shipping, Novatech comes out more expensive if you buy one or two fans, but for 3+ it is probably cheaper (unless the eBay seller scraps off some more like in my case).

Wooo... wish I'd found these a month or so ago! I bought three Yate-Loon D12SL-12's for the same price, and they're total rubbish (despite the favourable ravings they get here, and them "being the same as a Nexus"). Woulda bought some Nexii if I'd found them :)

Would it bug you to know that Yate Loon D12SL-12 actually cost £0.80p each? :wink:

And NO they are definitely NOT the same as Nexus :)

If anyone is interested I have around 80 left at this price...all Orange (but orange is cool right?... :wink:), once they are gone they're gone. I am happy to do good postage deals if you say you are from here.

Also got other Nexus products....(see sig)

It doesn't bug me any more than other prices here in the UK ;)

I wonder where UK sellers of D12SL-12's are getting them from; maybe they are surplus or scrap, hence them being terrible. I have several YL and Nexus, very little appreciable difference noise-wise (at same rpm).

Buying them direct I would guess, I was tempted before I started doing Nexus and you can get them direct from the factory easily enough for pence per item.

And don't forget my commission ... especially now that everyone must think my 1st post was propaganda! :)
