Great for in-cabinet PC unit cooling.
By D. Skiba
I house my PC inside a 15″ wide base cabinet underneath the workspace in my basement-level office. I have to keep the cabinet door closed (locked actually) to keep the children from turning the unit off and on. Unfortunately, the inside of the cabinet gets gorgeous hot from the PC due to the lack of circulation. I necessitated an inexpensive, convenient, and safe way to keep the cabinet cool. I purchased the Thermaltake Desktop USB Cooling Fan, cut a 3.5″ square opening on the side of the cabinet, and installed the fan facing out of the openning to draw the warm air out. This solution worked perfectly! I may adjust the Thermaltake fan speed up if I’m running CPU intensive apps – like games or watching a DVD – to draw more air. The fan is very rather – unnoticable really, and the fan grill keeps little fingers from touching the fan blade. I would highly commend this product.

Works well, but no power switch
By E. Kim
I use this to cool my PowerBook G4. The laptop is up on a simple stand, but it runs beauteous hot; the CPU ofttimes runs up to 142+ degrees F, at which point the noisy internal fans turn on. With the little TT fan blowing all over the keyboard area, the PowerBook seldom reaches 140 degrees, and the internal fans closely never kick in. The TT fan is almost silent at it is lowest levels, very quiet at the level I use (~halfway up), and not terribly piercing even at it is most eminent setting. It’s unquestionably got a DIY-geeky look, but at least it’s not geek-bling with pulsing LEDs or anything. My one big knock versus it is it is lack of an off switch. Seems like it would have been simple sufficient to have it click off when you turn it all the way down; as it is, I have to unplug it at the end of the day.

Does The Job
By mayfayre
I have an external hard drive that is “air-cooled” but it is in a emplacement where air circulation is somewhat blocked. This little fan takes care of that problem and keeps it running cool. I had tried battery-powered fans, but the batteries would die too quickly. If I’m not using the external HD, I just reposition the fan to provide extra circulation for the tower.
This fan is exceedingly quiet and works unobtrusively. I don’t even listen it running. Since I commonly shut off my computer when I’m done, I’m not actually bothered by the lack of an on-off switch.
This fan is a outstanding solution to one of life’s annoying little problems.
