Customer Review: Easily cooled my computer 10 degrees
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading skibot's review, I decided to get this fan. I also have my desktop tower located in the cabinet shelf of my desk. Now, this desk I got recently and didn't think how much hotter my computer would get inside this cabinet. I soon found that my computer would overheat and shut off if I had the cabinet door shut. So, I had to keep the cabinet door open to be able to use the computer, but it was still getting relatively hot, usually about 109F. Now with this tiny, quiet, incredibly inexpensive fan, my computer kept steady at about 99F. I tried then closing the cabinet door, and it seemed to be working, but eventually it did overheat. Still, great little fan! Maybe if I buy another, I'll have enough cooling power to leave the computer in the cabinet.
Note: I am not the best judge of the fan's noise level since my desktop's fans, which I normally keep on high, are much louder.
Customer Review: I use fans to keep laptop & ps3 cooler
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered two of the 'Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan'(s). Out of the box I was batting .500, the first fan worked fine (usb chord, fan-speed contol). When I plugged in the 2nd, the speed control didn't work properly (fan was stuck on high). There was an issue with one of the connections. As I 'wiggled' the wire, the fan-speed slowed down/sped up...NO problem in this case, as I returned it and received a new fan in only a few days!
I use these fans to keep my laptop & ps3 cooler. They do a good job and having a speed control gives you the ability to adjust for different temps and for fan-noise.
One complaint: it would be nice if the wire stand (that is integrated into the fan housing) had an ability to 'tilt' to adjust the fan at different angles...but for the price it's hard to complain.

Customer Review: Great for in-cabinet PC unit cooling.
Summary: 5 Stars
I house my PC inside a 15" wide base cabinet below 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 pretty hot from the PC due to the lack of circulation. I needed 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 can adjust the Thermaltake fan speed up if I'm running CPU intensive applications - like games or watching a DVD - to draw more air. The fan is very quite - unnoticable really, and the fan grill keeps little fingers from touching the fan blade. I would highly recommend this product.Customer Review: Does exactly what we're asking of it
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this fan because our three shelves are enclosed and with the receiver cranked to almost any volume above a whisper and with the DVR constantly on, it was getting warm in there. Well, the fan's only been on for about 6 hours now and even though we were running both of the above (but not the DVD player), the temps are about 6-7F below what we were getting prior to putting the puppy in. And it isn't even optimally placed, just kind of blowing air at a hole nearby, not one at its level. At about 3/4 or so, it's all but silent behind the glass door. But now we've decided to get a feed as well as an exhaust. And maybe another to move some air from behind our newly acquired microwave/convection oven.
Oh yeah, after seeing a couple of other comments, we're using the USB port on the Scientific Atlanta (Cisco) HD-DVR.
Customer Review: THE BEST SOLUTION.

If you got laptop and it needs to be cooled check this out.
First, don't use the laptop cooler with fans already attach to it.
All of these laptop coolers will suck the air and let it out toward back
and some laptop are not design to let out hot airs to buttom.
And those things are simply too loud !
so this is what you do
You put the laptop on Targus notebook stand, and hook this fan up
next to the laptop and it will blow the air top of the keyboard as well
as the buttom of the laptop while it keeps your hands cool and dry.
I have sweaty hands and it keeps my hands dry too !
this thing is also quiet !
I've used other combinations to try to cool my notebook including
those little cute usb fan things.. and it just does not work
