50mm processor fan needed

[Andrew Z Carpenter]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a reputable (and cheap) supplier for
some 50mm processor fans.

All my usual suppliers (dabs, aria, ebuyer, overclock)
don't seem to stock anything suitable.

A google search for "50mm fan" provides several hits
here in the UK, but none of which I've ever heard of,
so naturally I'm a little wary.

So, does anyone have experience of any of the following:

www.kingdomkomputers.co.uk
www.planetmicro.co.uk
www.kustompcs.co.uk

Or, does anyone have another recommended supplier, or
alternatively, can anybody recommend a new HSF for a
'Slot A' AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1000mhz.

Never having had any 'Slot' type processors myself,
I'm a little out of my area of knowledge.

The current HSF has two fans, and the bearings are
going producing a very irritating buzzing noise.

So, to recap, I either need two new 50mm fans, or a
new HSF to fit the Slot A Thunderbird.

Advice welcomed.

Thanks,

Andrew

I've bought from KustomPCs - a fan as it happens - excellent service,
recommended.

Nevermind. I did some more research, and found
this site:

http://www.romulus2.com/feedback/chart.php?1

It has reviews and rankings for suppliers.
www.thecoolingshop.com was very highly rated, so
I've bought a new Slot A HSF from there.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this message
helps someone else in a similar situation some
time in the future!

As have I. I find them to a bit costly and slower than some other
vendors but reputable and great for some of the less common items they
stock.
