How do I find a fare price for a top motor fan?
What I need is a cooler for my computer, specs as follows:
Model# DF1209SM(DF1209SM-1)
DC12V
0.25A
appx 4"x4", 6 bladed fan.
Made by DYNAEON INDUSTRIAL CO. LTD
Made in Taiwan
I have goggled it, but have been unable to find a place on line to buy it. The local store(Havre,Mt) wants $78.00 for this puny little fan that looks to be about $8 worth of merchandice.
I can install it myself, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

computer fans are usually measured in millimeters...an 80mm fan fits in approximately at 3" hole. A 120mm fan is approximately a four inch hole. Sounds like you are probably talking about a 120. Go to www.newegg.com, www.zipzoomfly.com, or www.tigerdirect.com. All these should have fans in stock, a 120 mm fan usually runs you about 8-15 dollars, depending on how much air it moves, how quiet it is, and a couple other things. Let me know if this was what you are looking for (it sounds like it).

You were very close, actual diameter is 3 and 1/2". Tiger and zipzoom both had it for under 20.00 with s/h.
My wife ( woulden't ya know it, the shopping queen) found it on e-bay for 3.99, the shipping was 4.99.
Thankyou for your help.

it's going to be important to get the correct one though. Computer fans have two different types of connectors. A 3 pin connector and a 4 pin connector. If the fan connects to the motherboard, make sure to get one with a 3 pin connector. If it connects to the power supply, it will probably be a 4 pin connector.

as it turns out, its a 3 pin. Thanks for pointing that out. The one I had selected has an adaptor for 3 to 4 as well, the specks match perfectly, but ya never know. I will have it in a few days, and I'll post the results as soon as I know .
again, thankyou for the help. I am new here and look forward to helping others when I see something I'd be qualifyed to provide help for, in about 20 years or so. (lol)
