Yeah ... best Pentium Pro cooling fans I've ever bought... and boy do my 
monster Pro's need them.

I've had a bunch of sleeve bearing fans die regularly on those... 
crashola (although oddly enough Win2K isn't smart enough to crash during 
an overheat [occasionally]).  The PC Power Ball bearing fans are really 
nice... dual fans per heat sink.  I can also hear them running so I'd 
know if they actually failed... something I never really knew without 
checking periodically on the others.
