Does anyone sell fans that are less than 25mm tall?

I am trying to put some fans on the inside of a hot-swap drive carriage, and there is a large open space that looks like it was made to hold 2 or 3 fans, but it is too narrow to hold a standard case fan (the fan is too high, or deep, however you want to call it). Every place I've looked only seems to carry 25mm ones. Are there any 80mm wide fans that are less than 25mm tall? Thanks!
 
I have been doing Case cooling mods for a while and never seen anything advertised for less than 25mm thick. However, who knows, there might be some weird company out there that we never hear of :/
 
hey man,


you should look into motherboard northbridge HSF combos or else take a trip down to your local electronics store...

i remember i had a couple of fans i used for a school project (battery-operated sharpener..... think we can overclock it ? 🙂 ) and they were very thin... dont remember the exact depth but i'm sure they were less than 15mm...... i think they were around 50/60 mm fans though... (slightly bigger than an AMD processor)

then if you dont fin 80mm just buy a small piece fo sheet metal, place holes at 80mm to stick to the carriage... then make a hole for the size of fan you found and stick the fans onto it.

Hmm...I have one HSF that has a very short fan on it, but I don't know how powerful it is (not very), plus I don't know where I could find just the fan. I'm going to keep looking on the web.
 
Panaflo makes a 15mm thick series. You can buy them at www.digikey.com. Search for "fba08t" for 80mm, or "fba06t" for 60mm. The fans are $12.50 each, discount if you buy 5 or more. I don't know what shipping is.

I JUST got one of these in the mail today, from Digikey 🙂 They were quick about it too, would definitely do business with them again. Fan is 80x80x15mm, think it does something like 17cfm @ 21db 🙂

2nd for digikey- was good for me too. The Panaflo's I got were bare leads.
I think you can find the proper molex connectors for mb header at digikey, but you've got to look. The ones at the bottom of the page are the fan side headers, as I found out.
As far as shipping, I ordered >25 bucks prepaid by check in the mail and they don't charge shipping. Don't know if they still do that.
