Blower fan to fit a 3.5" drive space?

I am looking to bring in some fresh air for my shuttle via the floppy drive (3.5") hole. Anybody ever seen any? a PCI slot fan wont do as i need the air drawn into the case horizontal and need to keep the flow that way.

They're out of stock but maybe you can find it somewhere else:

Little overkill, but it'll do the job, as long as you have two 3.5 Floppy bays.

DaMan, you could always switch the wires on the fan and it would run backwards pulling air into the case.. I think? hehe.. That long fan you linked is on I installed in my very first case for the PCA Lan

i need that style like I posted but smaller. the other folks posted won't fit. the closest I found was this:
