Mouser shows a whole lot of fans in the $15-30 price range that fit that rough description. Hard to tell if they are exact matches since there are no pics for a lot of them.

If you believe that's the same quality then please buy those.

Well that's the point, isn't it? You're not building a life support system. I'd rather put two of those than spend $100 on a single industrial fan. At least then you've got some redundancy. Some things are worth a ton of extra cash - some just don't need top end live longer than you will units.

Then again, burning hard-to-get parts in a precious SW cab is not what we want either.
We need fan monitoring and auto-shut-down when it fails ;)
The Rotron has a metal frame but plastic impeller. It's also sleeve bearing and I always understood those should not be mounted horizontally (which it is in a SW). So it's not top-of-the bill, but it looks like a sturdy build. I just don't have a warm feeling for those no-name chinese things. At least get a Sunon which is relatively cheap but OK in quality.

Hell for $100 you can probably rig up a dedicated air conditioner for the thing. ;D
