Jab-tech.com has them both, for $34.95 and $16.95 respectively. I've dealt with Jab-tech before and if they have an item, it's usually at a good to the lowest price. They also had good service.

Just so you know, I got this result by using Froogle, Google's price search engine in less time than it took for you to compose your post. Have some respect for folks' time and try using that first next time you're looking for a particular item. It tends to piss people off and generally they won't respond if you try to use them as a search engine because you're too lazy to use one yourself. I'm not pissed off, but I did want to give you, as well as anyone else that may read this thread, a heads up on an etiquette issue.

A tornado is very loud.
my brother had one for a month, and he got very little sleep.
he than sold it to a friend who, during an accident, cut his finger badly.
that thing is evil.
but it is a very good fan if it is not in your room, or a room not dedicated to your computer.

Get an enermax fan from JAB if you get it from there. They have a higher CFM than most and come with a pot already attached to adjust speed, plus they are a quality fan.

When it comes to performance and quality parts for you cpu, you need to shed the punny thermaltake crap (excluding SCF2) and get yourself a good fan.

If you don't mind the noise, that UFO has a pretty impressive 90CFM rating (if you can trust specs), one of the highest among 92MM fans, and it's dual ball bearing. I'd go for it...just let us know how well it works for you.
