When i say cheap i mean REALLY cheap..
im talking £12-£20 for 10 of the things preferably with postage..
I can get them from china, but im not willing to wait 4 weeks. i checked the uk new egg and they had some that would have been about in the price range "also delivered from china" (over 2 weeks delivery estimated)

All the places i usually shop have reputable fans and well those cost as much each as i want to pay for 10 of the things..

soo any ideas where would have such things.. i dont mind ordering from over seas provided its not going to take weeks to arrive?
 
Cheapest I could find are
lms-data-120mm-led-3-pin-case-fan-green-fg-001-ls.html
from these Overclockers available in Red, Green or Blue and you could probably get rid of the LED's if you wanted just plain fans.

You are looking at £34 with delivery basically, checked Scan, Ebuyer, Aria, Maplin, CCL and QuietPC.
 
yeah i checked all the usuall suspects too..
im probably gonna end up destroying them so i dont want to pay lots for the things lol.

Some will proably come up on ebay sooner or later..

were some apple ones about a month back that i should have grabbed then, but thought they would be a bit on the loud side so decided to wait for a better option, Sometimes its better to grab what you can when you can i guess.

True, but it's hard to know when you do...
 
OK man I feel I can offer some advice here. Yes things from China can take up to a month to arrive, but most arrive long before that. Hong Kong seems to have it nailed, I have had stuff arrive quicker from there than ordering from the UK FFS.

Overall though I have never had something not arrive (I must be really lucky) nor have anything faulty or gone faulty.

Bottom line man you ain't going to get something for the same price here. You can see identical items as the Chinese stuff being sold for 3x the price here in the UK.

Patience is a virtue.

The glory of drop shipping, that vast majority of stuff we order from "China" i.e through Wish and the likes are already stocked at UK ports. It why we seem to get them early.

Yeah man for sure. And it's just so much cheaper than buying anything directly from here. I bought 8 IIRC? LED strips for £2.50. They're about a tenner a pair from the UK.
