I have several of these on my computer cabinet, and need to replace them, as they keep failing:

I bought 3 of the 5 in installed my case from staples, clear blue plastic with a blue LED. They might be Antek but I may be wrong. I also run a fan controller and slow them down a bit because 5 fans can get pretty annoying.
Newegg.com has a pretty large selection, of course no affiliation.
this is where i get my cold cathode lights but they also have case fans for around $5.00/ea

try tiger dir.com you can get a case of 10 for 15.00
With the fans I'm using (120VAC), I was able to attach a cord to them that plugged directly into a walll outlet. What's the power set up for these other fans? Thanks.
Most computer fans are 12 volt dc and run off the computer power supply. If you do go that route I would look at some that are quiet the larger ones usually are quieter than the smaller ones as they don't spin as fast.
These fans are to mounted outside of the computers. Knowing very little about computer hardware, is there a way to tie these fans into the power supply of the computers that are housed in the cabinet that the fans will be ventilating?
This is only speculation because i'm unclear and because i don't recall where i put the case fan i bought, however with the cold cathode lights it has a small (box) where you plug two lights in and then wire it to a wall wart plugin. I would assume that you could do this with at least 2 fans also. Go to the link above that i posted and do a little reading i'll bet you will find the answer. If you don't find the answer i will find my fan and check the ends to see if they plug in like i explained. If so i can send you the wiring diagram for the cold cathode lights and you just substitute the fans for lights. Email me if you need more info.

Try Performance PC's. They carry good, but not the cheapest parts.
