Got pissed off in end John finding a UK online seller for the Panaflo or
Sunon 80mm fans is like trying to get hold of moondust or something! lol
even tried ebay for these with no luck! In end I opted for this YS Tech fan
from overclockers uk
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_YS_Tech_60.html
the 80mm 1 pushing out 3000rpm seems to have good airflow should be better
than current anyway
Thanks for all your help buddy anyway much appreciated.
