I've found aquatuning to have GTs more commonly than others. I usually check there first if I need more fans.

Other than FleaBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scythe-Gentle-Typhoon-Fan-AP-14-D1225C12B4AP14-GT-120mm-/260833078474#vi-content)(but they're overpriced), no luck.

Bump for this. Only place I have found (and stated above) is aquatuning for $14.81, or this place (http://www.jab-tech.com/Scythe-Gentle-Typhoon-D1225C12B3AP-14-1450rpm-pr-4500.html) that I've never heard of for $15.95. Um, Yeah. Reseller ratings doesn't look too bad for them though - but who knows if any of those are seeded or not. The unspeakable frozen*** also have them 'for sale' @ $15.99.
I need 8, but I'm not paying $25 for each, even if it's from sidewinder (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/scge120mmsic1.html) or Petra's tech shop (http://www.petrastechshop.com/12scgetyd1ca.html). That's almost 80$ more, that's a water block or a pump right there.
edit: they are $17.95 @ performance PC's (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_49&products_id=24748). I'm aware some of the re-sellers I've listed are on the 'don't mention' list. I'm not recommending any of them. It's a shame all of the shady re-sellers are so damn cheap.
BTW, first post, lurked for months reading the EK supreme HF plating threads, and other PR disaster stories about vendors, etc. Looks like the RRT platted supremes are out of stock at sidewinder and have been for a few weeks :/
jab tech is a respected vendor.

You may as well try this discount coupon too if you're ordering from Jab-Tech http://www.realredraider.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=31729.
Edit:It seems that it isn't working anymore. Still worth a try, although sorry if it doesn't.

Man I really missed the connection that that user ran a store.
I've been looking at too many charts, graphs, and reviews recently.
That quenches all doubt about them as a reputable re-seller. Thanks for the tip!

Just to add to what others have said above me, there is a REASON that RedRaider has GIANT links to both Sidewinder and Jab-Tech in the forum banner.
Also, there's a REASON why there's a giant "fuck PPC's" thread on this forum.
Simply put, Sidewinder (Gary) and Jab-tech are classy people, whereas PPC (Hank Baron) has a reputation no higher than mud.

More like well below mud, and that little bitch on the phone can kiss my ass.

I'm with you all on this - Trust me, I didn't believe how ignorant I appeared when that connection was finally made. Every page view I had when I was browsing, I'd immediately smack the pg. down key, so after a while I had forgotten about jab-tech. Hey I'm new here, please don't chuck me in the ban-grinder quite yet.
There aren't any AP-14's with black fins in existence, are there?

Why buy GTs if you are going to destroy their performance by painting them?

Pretty hard to destroy their performance by painting them unless you go full retard and dump an entire gallon pale on each fan

From what I understand, It's more about blade balance - I'm not going to be able to apply paint as evenly to the blades than if I just had black plastic to begin with.
Are the blades removable? I don't think they are, so I'll have to try and paint the entire fan or spend hours masking off the fan's frame. The blades are such a complex shape that I doubt I'll be able to apply the paint evenly, which will undoubtedly result in an unbalanced fan blade = vibration & lower life. They have a 10,000MBTF, which I'd like to utilize. Pain in the ass that I don't want to deal with. Pipe dream.
Edit: I see the blades are removable with a cotter pin. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?236580-Painting-my-Scythe-Gentle-Typhoon-120mm-fans

Nowhere really in USA though. Jab tech is out and has been for months. Sidewinder only has one.
Has manufacturing ceased?
