I don't ever recall seeing one that will fit into a 3.5" bay. Beside, if it's that small, is it really gonna do any good cooling stuffs down?

I don't know of any retail products, but you could build your own with a dead floppy drive, an 80x15mm fan, and some glue, perhaps. :)

I need it for my Shuttle PC which only has one 5.25" bay (contains DVD-RW) and a 3.5" bay (empty). FYI I just installed a Leadtek 6800 and it's getting hot in there. I think somebody can make a killing in the SFF market if they come up with an intake fan that will fit a 3.5" drive bay?

I have a really small fan it's about 1.5 inches. Came from an old PSU. Thing is it runs on a special wire and connector.
