has anyone found a place to purchase reasonably priced , quality 120mm fans ?

I run 2 on every desktop in the house and a couple more on the rack that houses the switch, nas , modem etc and I seem to have to replace them regularly as they seize up through dust mainly.

I would like some fans that will last with just a squirt of spray lube every 3 months.

They all seem pretty naff, with sleeve bearings that tend to seize

I help my fans out by injecting vaseline into the bearings (remove the sticky label to access) using a syringe from an ink refill kit (no needle). They seem to go on for a good while before requiring a second treatment.

I do the same with oil. Whenever they start to make noise this helps for many months. If the label is broken I just use a sticky tape to cover the bearing.
