I guess it's available from Plycon. Ok, NOW I am hungry! Finally, a way to run a totally wuiet fan and STILL get 40 cfm!!

One question, though. Does anything think this could be too heavy for the 3 prong clip?

Sean, the hub of a 120mm fan is huge, meaning a large dead spot in the middle of your heat sink, where you need the air the most. So it's not going to take much advantage of all that extra air flow. You might want to wait a couple months for those new Y.S. Tech fans to hit the market, they have almost no center hub blocking the air flow. Here's a link;
