Scythe Slipstream 800 RPM - shipping to UK?
I can't find the Scythe Slipstream 800 in the UK at all. Is there a USA vendor (or europe/japan) that ships to the UK and is relatively cheap?

$7.99 for the fan, $20 for shipping...
if you buy 4, you paying as much on shipping as the goods...

Thank you for the link.
$7.99 x 3 = $23.97
delivery = $28.00 (USPS Priority) or $39.00 (USPS Express)
Total = £25.90 or £31.39
Import duty = ??
I don't know the time delay regarding delivery or import tax.
It may still work out cheaper than 3 x Noctua fans depending on if I get hit with import tax.

I could buy the 1200 RPM version and 5v it through a fan controller. Should match the same CFM/DB as the 800 I believe (but I wanted as quiet a system as possible - maybe they are when 5v - I don't know).
I still want a range of airflows. They are going in a P182 that arrived yesterday! So I would hate to wait 2 weeks for the 800 RPMs These are OK for intake, exhaust and CPU?
I still have a lot to do - have to get a passive GPU (possible 3650) and a quieter HDD (I have a Raptor )

I have 2 slipstream 1200rpm's and at 40% voltage on a motherboard header they ran about 600rpm iirc, not sure how accurate the 40% is though! I'm on a different motherboard now, and can't check the speeds but have both on a zalman fan mate at minimum and they are very quiet. If you have a controller that goes down to 5v and don't need silence (I can hear the fans now, at 1:15am... unless a car goes by 50m away on the road...) I would definitely recommend them - if you get a hot day there is plenty of headroom for additional cooling. If you have a raptor the little noise will probably be unnoticable Mine are on thermochill radiators and on minimum there is noticable airflow, so I would say they can go anywhere - input and output have little resistance compared to a radiator.
As for customs, if they decide to check the package it is the standard 17.5% VAT plus a clearance fee, which was £8 on a £200 cpu I bought from USA along with a week delay! Not much fun...

Hello,
The voltage-to-RPM is not a direct ratio. It takes a minimum voltage to start a fan, and then it can be run at a lower voltage. I think the slowest a Slipstream can go is 350-400RPM; based on the 500RPM running at ~7v (and it won't start at 7v -- you have to help it get going!). The 800RPM can be run at 5v, and it too is about 400RPM I should think.
