Hello Chris,

A few months ago I needed such a fan set for the same Windtunnel 867 DP as
yours for a client/friend. Well, living in The Netherlands (Eur.), I first
put a WTB (= Want To Buy) on the dutch site:
<http://www.tweedehandsmac.nl>
and also one on the international version of this site:
<http://www.secondhandmac.com>
I got 2 tips from other viewers with the adr.'s from
Mac-Stuff-Outlet-Sellers. Me lucky! I bought one brandnew Apple set in
Belgium for Euro 65 (= US$ 82) and a brandnew German set in Germany for
Euro 90 (= US$ 113). The last one (will dig up the details for you and send
later) was the best. But the Apple set was very OK too.
Living in the US or Canada you should also post a WTB (Want To Buy) on
<http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap?hl=en>.
I know of alot of people, needing this kind of (in the meantime
"curious"?!?) Apple/Mac-stuff, being happy by trying one of the sites above.

HTH and happy finding,

Jo Hissel
