Here is my solution - using very quiet computer fans. See the link at the bottom of the page: "Cooling Fan Project"

http://k8jhr.com/project_links.html

I sometimes use a small resistor to slow them down, but they run on 12v and usually spec out around 15-19 dB noise factor.

I just could not spend over $40 on the TT fan, when I could make one for less than $10 - including buying a brand new fan. Mine are CoolerMaster fans that cost me $7 I think.

Maybe my plan will spur some other ideas.
