    Unhappy help finding fans

    Well my boss just told me he can no longer get the cpu fans that plug into the power supply cables. All he can get is the ones that plug into the motherboard. The problem is we get a lot of computers that don't have the motherboard plug for cpu fan, and I'm sure we will be running out of old fans we can cut the connectors off of to soder onto the new fans. Does anyone know where we can get the old style cpu fans from? Stuff for like AMD K6's and old pentiums?

    Thanks.

    Cables Unlimited, Manhattan Products(I think they use to be IC Intercom), and there is also an apter to hook up 3 pin fans to 4 pin power supply hookups, at least on came with my thermaltake Gold Orb. I know Manhattan has them, I just ordered them.
