I have a fan in my GS.  I plugs into the fan connection inside the GS.
I bought it from an apple mailhouse outlet in Arizona about 3 or 4 years ago.
I believe it was an Apple product.  You can probably check with some of
the mailhouses (see InCider/A+ magazine).  I wouldn't consider anything
from Radio Shack since it wouldn't be made for the apple.
