[geeks] good source of cooling fans (for computers)

I need to locate a 120 mm fan for a power supply.

It has a Globe fan with a sleeve bearing, and the bearing rattles.  It's
driving me nuts so out it goes.

I'm having a hard time finding a good quality replacement that matches
the specifications:

12V 0.52A
1200-2400 rpm (power supply controls speed)

I can find a ton of 120mm fans, but either they don't support that much
power, or the seller doesn't give the specs on the fan.

I figure any 12VDC fan that can handle at least 0.52A should do the
trick.

I'd like either dual-ball or fluid bearing. Might as well get one that
will last a long time.

Favorite sources appreciated.

If I find something, I'll post a summary here.
