I have this fan, a Verax M12, available. An 'extra part' from my own MMD refurbishing. It fits the factory power supply. Has build-in housing and jumper cables. I replaced my power supply and this wouldn't fit it. Brand new, in the box. Paid: $210 (plus shipping) from Germany (Holland actually). Bought it online. Ultimately a safe transaction, but it took months to complete. Anyone interested?
