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?  Make an offer.
