Someone has already asked for them.. I got them off eBay, hang on a cool second..

Ok, here is where I bought them:
http://cgi.ebay.com/150mm-RECEIVER-COOLING-CASE-FAN-THEATER-AMPLIFIER-JVC........

And if that doesn't work, then use this link for this guys eBay store:
http://stores.ebay.com/Mikes-A1-Pet-Fans-and-Car-Parts

Here is an image of the fans from eBay (note: this image link might break within a couple of months):


I emailed him and told him that I do not need the 6-speed transformer A/C adapter nor do I need the fan grills, so he cut me a sweet deal. The are listed at $14.99 each on eBay, but he sold me 4 fans with out the grills or A/C adapters, shipped to my door, for $45. So including shipping, each fan cost me $11.25.

Here is "some" text from the eBay auction:

150mm RECEIVER COOLING CASE FAN THEATER AMPLIFIER JVC

Super Cool!! 120 CFM, Variable Speed (6 speed) cooling fan for Monitors, Receivers & Amplifiers, TV’s, LCD’s, DVR’s, & Aquariums.

Huge 150mm (5.9 inch) DUAL ball bearing 120 CFM fan has 30% greater cooling capacity than the competition!

1) The competition claims to be selling 5 inch fans; however, read their fine print, their fans measure 4-7/8 in. (120mm) from corner to corner. These fans measure 5-7/8 in. (150mm) from corner to corner, 1 inch larger than the competition.

2) The competitions fans are 90 CFM, these fans are 120 CFM, 30 CFM or 30% higher cooling capacity greater than the competition.

3) The competition fans are 100% plastic with plastic grills, these are industrial balanced, anodized aluminum fans with chrome steel grills (no rusting) to keep out little fingers.

5) The competition fan kit makes 40db of noise on high, these fans make 38 db of noise because of the quality precision fan blades (these are quieter).

* Don't get stuck with small 80, 90, or 120mm fans with 30% less cooling than huge 150mm fans. The dual ball bearings in these 150mm fans provide higher efficiency, quality and durability. Smaller fans are cheaper than these aluminum 150mm fans.

About the Fans!!  This is a brand new High Output, commercial grade, 5 inch diameter, black aluminum housings, Brushless, DUAL ball-bearing, 12 Volt DC, .3 amp, 1.5 inch thick blade pitch.  These HUGE fans measure 5 & 7/8 inch (150mm) from corner to corner and have 30% more cooling than small 4 & 7/8 inch (120mm) plastic computer fans. This fan make a quiet 38db of noise on full speed at 12 volts and less than 23db on the 6 volt setting, so quiet that you can't hear them running.



So they move 120 CFM at 38 db, full aluminum construction and dual ball bearing bushless fans that draw 0.3 amps.

They really are very quiet, you cannot hear them over the sound of your engine idling, not by a long shot. Even with the engine off, you have to sit perfectly still and wait, wait, wait, and then you'll be able to hear some harmonizing sound coming from the hood.
