It's just a chrome 120mm fan. Not sure exactly what model if that's what you are looking for.

Check through this page which shows how he made the case. He might have noted what model fan it is in there.

Nivag: The fan you posted has like 16 blades. The one I'm talking about in the picture is a 6 bladed thing.

It's a bit like this one which looks pretty much like the one Nivag linked to . I think he just used a chrome 120mm fan and added the cap to it though.

The one he used had 7 blades from the looks of it and this has 16. I don't think I'd want a 16 blade fan in my computer

No. It isn't a bit like that one. I have that one, and it's nothing like it. The aerocool turbine has 16 blades, and the nosecone is very very shallow. The one in the pic has SIX big blades, and a big pointy nosecone.

It's an Evercool AL12025B 120mm fan. He added the nose cone himself.
(larger image of the fan available here)

Here are some pics from before the nose cone was added.
