YateLoon does some as I used to have them on my radiators. They are pretty quiet but don't shift that much air plus they are sleeve bearing fans so you have restrictions on mounting orientations (they don't like being mounted face down).

There are plenty of 38mm thick 120mm fans out there in the enterprise market but they are very expensive and usually don’t come pre terminated. These are made by the likes of delta, san ace, nidec, panaflo, nmb-mat, ebm-papst and sunon. They will come in a fairly broad range of voltages (ac & dc), rpms, bearing types and options like thermal speed control, pwm and tacho output.

From what i've read the EK 38mm doesn't perform much better than the 25mm variant, its practically the same. Can't remember the reviewers name, might have been linus or optimum tech.

I have 6 of these fans and all have been used on radiators. These are the 38mm deep versions and ar 3 pin only. I had these on my pair of radiators controlled by a fan controller running at 7-800rpm while still shifting a decent amount of air while still being pretty quiet. I will give them a good clean before posting as I never send anything off while still dusty. I am asking £4 for each of these and will sell them in multiples of 2, 3 or all 6. No singles due to postage costs making it not worthwhile.
