OT (slightly) PC slim fan replacement

Looking for a replacement fan for a small cube-shaped PC. The fan is 80x80x15mm (i.e. rather slim), 12V 6W. None of my usual component suppliers have one (CPC, Maplin, RS, Farnell). RS are the only one to have a fan that physical size, but it's only 1.6W (468-5403) which is probably not enough for cooling a whole Athlon64 system.

Tried looking at the odd PC supplier like Dabs, and although they do have some of that physical size, there's no info on power consumption or airflow and the hint they are just for video cards, so again probably nowhere near powerful enough.

Anyone got any suggestions of a suitable supplier?

The original fan which only lasted for around 4 months continuous use is pictured here:

strangely, the date stamp on mine is exactly the same as in this picture. "Everflow" seems like a remarkably inappropriate name in the circumstances;-)

The supplier are not the greatest for customer service, but they are useful for hard to find items.

You might be able to fit a regular fan to the outside of the case rather than squeezing a skinny one onside.

I was thinking of doing this, but then I found I could fit a regular 25mm deep one on the outside of the cowling (still inside the case). So it's now got a nice Papst fan in the case. I've never had one of those fail, and I have some which are 10 years old and one which is nearly 15 years old. I suspect it's still not as powerful as the one I removed though.

Thanks to others for the pointers to overclockers. I had already used the search facility on their website, but it didn't find any regular fans.
