It's kinda pricey for a case fan, but the quality seems to be great and considering how much I spent on the ReadyNAS and drives, it's pretty cheap comparatively. $32 on Newegg. Here's a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608026
My enclosure was out of warranty. It was an easy installation. Just need a phillips screwdriver to remove the sides of the ReadyNAS enclosure, the plate the fan is screwed to, and the old fan. Great success.
