4-pin (not molex) case fans

So, the motherboard in this computer has three 4-pin fan headers. One is taken by the CPU fan, the other two are free. The case has two single-speed 120mm fans.

Does anybody make a 120mm case fan that will plug into a 4-pin fan header? The only such fans I've found come with CPU heatsinks (which I don't need) and are, thus, far too expensive.

CPU:Athlon64 X2 5000+	Sound:Onboard/DAE-3	CPU Pps:MythTV
