princess auto :) they've got tons of 110v/24v/12v dc fans + power supplies (if you don't have dozens lying around).

Watch for the brushless fans, much quieter, less watts.

Princess Auto smallest was 2in. and The Source was 1.75in. Those look good Steve. Have you ordered from there?

I have always gone to a computer repair shop. They have all sorts of fans. Sometimes you can eve get used ones.

Suppose it depends on which store your at on which day... I just checked the camper - I retrofitted a pair of 35mm 12v brushless fans into it this summer (helps the LPG fridge's efficiency). Unfortunately given it's surplus material - you're stuck with hit and miss on stocking...

StirCrazy has it right! It's most likely 40mm, most commonly I've seen 40mm x 10mm

Sunon make good quality fans, and you can choose how many CFM and RPM (and voltage too!)
