Startech FANCSORB

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to pick up one of these cooling fans in Australia, cant seem to find anything at the moment.

It is similar to this one from the states, but they want 35 USD to post here, and it is only worth about 10 bucks.

Here is the link

Many Thanks.

Leon

http://www.gamedude.com.au/static/pr...coTHcrystalorb is probably also available from other domestic vendors. Ah, here we go.

Having had a further look, I think the problem you will run into is that this style of heat sink was used 8+ years ago, so they will be scarce in the current market. Also, most of the current designs are much more fragile in an environment where the fins are exposed.
