Only place I've found them so far is direct from China.

$28.00 + $28 for shipping.  Crazy!!

Anybody pull their fans off their 5830s to do water cooling?  Make me a reasonable offer? Preferrably in USD but will do BTC.
Thanks!

No, it's not reasonable. I have got a few of these things (Sapphire 5830 & 5850, different fans) here from local market in Beijing, each for ¥50 (~US$8). You can find the same fans in less than half the price in Shenzhen. Just search Taobao. I am current using a water cooling solution that costs only ¥160 for my 5870s, and it works just fine. But I don't think a 5830 worths a water cooling.
