edit: 101 are ribbed apparently, anything other than that?
I bought a pair and they are indeed identical to the 1011's except for the ribbing.

Incidentally, I could find absolutely no mention of the 101/1011 anywhere on either Sanyo Denki's site or in their literature. (Did they stop manufacturing them???) However, there are 102/1021's available with identical specifications, but they lack the yellow lead for RPM monitoring.

So I guess the list now could include:

109R1212H101 - ribbed, worst case requires a dremel
109R1212H1011
109R1212H102 - can't monitor with computer
109R1212H1021 - ribbed and can't monitor

All these fans are listed by Sanyo Denki as .52A, 6.24W, 2600RPM, 102.3CFM, 64.7Pa, 39 dB, so I will presume they are identical except for the minor differences noted above.
