Will, B+W G3 power supplies can be had for approx. $15 on the List, or from eBay (if your competition doesn't panic and artificially raise the price). If replacing just the fan, look for a 60mm square by 25mm width 12v fan it should work fine (btw, my fans are always spinning and do not appear to be thermostat-controlled). Best regards, Dana
