PCs' case fans' prices are higher than usual?
Is it just me in So(uthern) CA, USA? Or is happening to everywhere else?

Ones with blue LEDs or fancy operating principles (magnetic levitation). Expect to pay more for "Corsair" versus "company-of-the-month-club" fans. Expect to pay less, for those fans made with the stinky plastic. How many of those did I have to leave in the box, because they smelled so bad ? My all time favorite was Vantec Stealth. But they're no longer being made. They were mid-range pricing, and they *never* wore out. Just a modest unassuming fan. No LEDs. ******* You can browse through this selection... http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l1/g36/Fans.html Paul |
