I have one, so they must be readily available, but mine came from a computer fair. <br><br>However, I would think carefully before doing such a thing, as you need to think through the air flow paths quite carefully. The danger is as follows, for a standard case. (Yours, of course, might not be a standard case and you might be already aware of this problem)<br>
<br>Instead of creating a low pressure area at the rear of the case that draws a through flow of air, in through the front and side of the case, you will create a short circulating area of air flow, in through the rear and out through the rear mounted power supply. This in turn can create an area of stagnant air, further forward, just where the hard drive is likely to be mounted. I have seen people do this (mistakenly mounting an extra case fan the wrong way around) with the result that hard drives fail within months from overheating.<br>

Does anybody know of such a thing as a 60mm temperature controlled case fan<br>
with a remote sensor?<br>
<br>
I want to mount it so that it blows air into the case rather than suck it out,<br>
hence the desire for a remote sensor. The objective is to direct some of the<br>
incoming air across the heat sinks of a "fanless" motherboard with minimum<br>
acoustic noise.<br>
<br>
Failing temperature control a switch to set the speed would do. My current<br>
desktop case has a switched speed controlled fan but it's much larger than<br>
60mm.<br>
