Where can I buy these?

here's an 80mm one, im sure there will be more in 120mm flavors. xoxide is a great site to order from. :)

I actually have the fan BG linked to. It only does R, G, or B. It does not blend colors. There will be a review of it soon.

To make a RGB fan that did blend colors you would need a common cathode RGB led, a micro-controller capable of PWM (pulse width modulation) and some supporting code. If you had the fans and LEDs then all you would need is an arduino and some short code to properly blend colors.

An Arduino would be over kill for something that small. A PIC could do the job, and save you some monies.

Everything we do is overkill.

Now I have to get back to deciding if I'm going to use my GTX480 on this machine as well.

Yes it could but you would need a programmer, supporting components and programming knowledge. With a $15 boarduino or $10 tinyarduino from solarbotics you could be up and running with a downloaded sketch from the net and control up to something like 64 RGB LEDS

I'm making my own for my armor redux project. I've got the common-cathode RGB LEDs coming, and this RGB controller k (http://pcboard.ca/kits/led_rainbow/)it coming as well
