Where's the Silver Arrow gone?

Just wondering if the Silver Arrow has been discontinued? It was on This Week Only offer a week and a half ago, now it's been removed from OcUK and I can't find them anywhere else in stock either. Does anyone know if it's just a case of the next container has been delayed on it's way to the UK, or have Thermalright stopped making them?

I'm currently using a Zalman CNPS9900 MAX which I'm quite happy with, but after moving to the Raven RV03 it doesn't seem to like being turned 90 degress to normal. The fan bounces slightly up and down on it's mount when it spins up and makes clicking noises on every bounce - think the noise a WD Raptor makes when it's use and it's pretty similar. As you can't change the fan on the Zalman to another, I was thinking of getting a Silver Arrow instead but now I can't find one. Oh, cruel fate, why do you mock me so! :)
 
prehaps try taping some string (or that ninja wire stuff) to the top of the fan mount to support the fan, and tying it to the top of the case.

not the prettiest solution, but it should work if you put it under a little bit of tension, especially since the fan blowing will cause it to move downwards, not upwards, putting tension in the string
 
Seems they got it into stock today I still want to know what is happening with overclockers as I am going to buy one and overclockers is cheapest.

Yeah, I sent OcUK a webnote yesterday and they confirmed they're hoping for stock within the next week or so. They have them on order and are awaiting stock from their supplier. However, I'm weak and caved in and ordered one today from the opposition.

Reaper - good suggestion but the problem is the fan itself "bouncing" a little on it's hub, which is causing the noise, rather than the whole fan mount moving. Sadly, can't tie that down without stopping the fan moving - which would I admit remove the noise, but I feel my temperatures may suffer! :D
