Levi Mevis Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 just go to your local computer supply store that may also sell old computer parts and I'm sure you'll find plenty of these old fans like these there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Mevis Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Hmm, interesting because I come across old computers all the time even the old early 1990s and late 1980s IBM computers like the old PS/2 computers or other 386/486 processor based computers. If you want I can keep an eye out for you, and if I find something I can send it your way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jacobsen Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Man I used to have a SUN server with two large fan arrays, that thing was loud. There are still surplus stores around that have these by the gaylord full, we used to have a place called Weirdstuff warehouse thst had thousands. I had no idea someone is actually collecting them. I like the high pressure 4X fan stack ones they have for server backplanes, they are like little jet engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jacobsen Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I may have some around. Will set any aside next time I purge my shed. If you have any specific fans or specific types, price range, I can keep my eyes open. Surplus stores are dying all the time so supply is getting a bit harder to find but there is still a ton out here. Silicon valley after all. I used to have an SGI Indigo2 with some amazing fans in it but long gone now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
