Customer Review: The perfect multi-use cooling solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a home theater PC (the HP Digital Entertainment Center z555, which is infamous for overheating and causing internal components to fail) that needed a couple of external fans to help cool it off. And this is the ideal solution. Sure, these things add extra fan noise to an already noisy PC, but they beat frying internal components every couple of months (I've lost 2 video cards, 1 hard drive, and a power supply). Being able to adjust the fan speed is a useful feature, and the retractable USB cord is a thoughtful touch. If I had to knock it for something, it would be that it lacks a nice-looking enclosure; as it is, it looks like an internal PC fan with a USB-powered cord (which it is, of course).Customer Review: Great little fan for my PS3
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought a Play Station 3 and noticed it was getting pretty hot, so I ordered this fan. It does a great job for my purposes. I placed it at the rear of my PS3 blowing full blast towards the unit and leave my glass door open a bit while using the PS3. Big difference in cooling! Some reviewers have complained about there being no on/off switch. This is an attribute for me. I leave the fan plugged in to the USB port on my PS3. If I turn the PS3 on, the fan starts. If I turn it off, the fan stops. So I never have to worry about plugging/unplugging the fan and my PS3 keeps cool while it is on. Over time I'm sure the fan will extend the life of my PS3. Great investment for less than $15.Customer Review: Great cooling for Mac Mini
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought for my Mac Mini and does a great job of cooling. Have my mac mini on pedestal and this fan is plugged into one of the USB ports. Hottest core on CPU idles at 37 C and rarely goes above 45 C (before idled above 40 C and would go to 65 C or more). I used to use SMC fan control to try to get the same result but extra fan more successful. I adjusted potentiometer so fan is still pretty quiet. Added bonus is it also cools my external firewire hard drive. Bought a second one for my WHS serverHP EX490 1TB Mediasmart Home Server (Black) and also works pretty well (temperature does not go above 47 C).Customer Review: Cheap and effective cooling

Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan - Us
This fan is great. I don't really have an internal spot for a fan, so I got this one and connected it to the grill on the back top of the case, right under the power supply, and plugged it into a rear USB port (as an exhaust fan). All I did to connect it was remove the fans rear grill and attach it to my towers grillwork using the screws that held the fan together. With it running about 3/4 of the way up, I got 5c degrees cooling on my GPU, and the case cooling effect is probably even better than that. I highly recommend this item.
Customer Review: Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I used a small USB hub to hook up two of the these USB fans to my Western Digital WD TV Live Plus 1080p HD Media Player. When I turn my WD Plus on the fans come on. My equipment is in a closed TV cabinet so it was getting quite warm with all the equipment on. The fans help exhaust and circulate air through and out of the cabinet. A great low cost way to help cool the equipment.
The fan has a nice long cable that was actually longer then I thought it was going to be (about 5 feet long.) The fans are too loud on the highest setting but can be adjusted to still have good flow and no noticeable noise in my cabinet.
I'm very pleased with these fans. They worked as I had hoped.
