Default $191 for a single fan WTH??
I'm currently using a Delta WFB-1212M fan on my TRUE, and reading up on specs tells me it pushes about 72cfm @ 1900rpm. I remember picking up a JMC 120mmx38mm fan at some electronics surplus store here in Toronto for like 5 bucks. I had no idea on what its specs were...only that it was loud.
(Turns out to be around 133cfm @ 3500rpm)

Googling for the "JMC 1238-12HBA" led me to a few active sites. One was an online store that wanted US$191 for ONE!! WTH??
http://www.buy.com/prod/jmc-datech-1...209179712.html

Another e-tailer wanted US$183!
http://www.pinnaclemicro.com/compute...38-12HBA&m=JMC

More respectable at $40...
http://impactcomputersmiami.stores.y...238-12hba.html

Then I found a bunch of used from $5-$10.

I know some places tend to jack prices, but some of them are insane.
Do they actually expect people to pay this?

This is beyond reasonable

Or maybe its one of those "Extreme Edition" Fans that "they" overprice...

I would guess that it is an OEM distribution of many refurbished fans.

The extra 1600 RPM is achieved through the use of gold pixie dust and manatee hair.

Some people value manatees more than others.
