where to buy papst fans online?

[lucid]

where can i buy papst fans online? the only english language shop is plycon.com and they are out of stock and only offer ridiculous shipping for international orders. the only other shops were in german and the only swedish shop sold them for over the top prices. so anyone know where i can get thse fans online?

Take a look at Panaflo 21 db fans. They are equially quite.
One word of caution though: Panaflo fans come with two connecting wires. Therefore if your BIOS absolutely requires fan speed readings, it would not work for you.
I was hunting for Papst myself, but for the same price I got two Panaflos (one for heatsing and one for case), and I am pretty happy.

yeah that papst's are expensive. i was looking at the 80 mm one that runs at 19db providing very good airflow for that decibel level...

how big is the 21db panaflow you mentioned?

It is standard 80 mm. Little bigger airflow than Papst 8412, and only 2 db more noise.
Besides, I remember reading somewhere on the internet that Papst do not stand to their high specs, and in real life Panaflo are equally quite.
Best place to get them is Ebay.
For example:
