Where can I buy the Nexus fan

Well, everyone everywhere seems to jock the Nexus fan for the rear ventilation of cases. So I was ready to purchase one, but newegg and zipzoomfly don't sell them.

Can someone who has bought one tell me what, reputable, dealer I can order from? Also, can you only buy them in that ugly orange color?

Rig Specs for Nexus is in my sig

Nexus fans are just slow running Yate Loon's. You should be able to find some non-orange ones if you search around.
 
keep in mind that the main reason people buy nexus fans are, because they are quite, which means decreased air flow.

I'm looking to replace the 120mm rear fan for the Antec SLK3700-BQE

I understand the noise drops because the air flow decreases, but my temps aren't very high to begin with. Do you have other fans you would recommend besides the Nexus?

I bought 2 panaflo fans from frozencpu.com, an 80 and a 92, and I like both of them, although I had to reduce the speed on the 92 just a bit.

SilentPCReview.com has a number of reviews on fans, so you might check there.

The SLK3700-BQE stock 120mm fan is not too bad at 12V and actually very good at 5V or 7V. Do the 7V voltage mod trick and you'll probably be happy with the low noise.

That said, I replaced mine with a Globe because I wanted RPM monitoring. I run it at about 1000 RPM and it's quiet and moves enough air.
