Excellent Fan for Entertainment Centers, etc.,
This fan is perfect for venting an entertainment center or a computer desk because it is powered by a USB connector and it has a speed control allowing you to adjust the speed of the fan for the best combination of airflow and (lack of) noise. The wires leading to it stay out of the way because they are on a spring-loaded reel which takes up the slack. I purchased a new entertainment center which, hard to believe, has no power outlets or vent fans! The area where the equipment resides quickly became an oven. For the first few weeks I had to leave the doors open all of the time, a completely unsatisfactory situation. I wanted to install fans to vent the cabinet, but powering them was an issue. This fan solves the problem as it is powered by the USB port on the back of one of my TiVos. I also installed one in my wife’s computer desk, which made it run 20+ degrees cooler and much quieter. In both cases, I removed the “legs” and purchased longer bolts and nuts, drilled a hole in the back and mounted the fan. It took about 5 minutes for the installation. Highly recommended!

|iMac Cooling,
Although iMacs are designed to handle the heat generated using “passive” cooling (read no internal fan) I always use the philosophy that cooler is better. I mounted this fan behind my iMac and use an already existing hub to plug it in. It’s quiet and the computer runs noticeably cooler. Will it increase the life of the computer? I don’t know. But like I said, cooler is better. I do wish there was a power switch incorporated into the speed control but unplugging it isn’t really much of a problem. I’m totally satisfied with the unit.

|Well thought out product!,
The product is based around an 80mm computer case fan, with a wire stand and a rheostat to control the fan speed. The retractable power cord extends to over 50″ which is more than enough for me. Besides being useful for cooling notebook computers, this is also helpful for cooling off stereo components and related electronic equipment since heat is the enemy. At higher speeds, the fan does make some noise however.
