Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan Review
I use this to cool my PowerBook G4. The laptop is up on a simple stand, but it runs pretty hot; the CPU often runs up to 142+ degrees F, at which point the noisy internal fans turn on. With the little TT fan blowing across the keyboard area, the PowerBook seldom reaches 140 degrees, and the internal fans almost never kick in. The TT fan is nearly silent at its lowest levels, very quiet at the level I use (~halfway up), and not terribly loud even at its highest setting. It’s definitely got a DIY-geeky look, but at least it’s not geek-bling with pulsing LEDs or anything. My one big knock against it is its lack of an off switch. Seems like it would have been simple enough 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.

I got this to get a little airflow for a cramped computer desk where the chassis is artistically put in its own wooden coffin. This fan works beautifully. Does what it needs to and the simple design gives the feeling that it’s made to work. My only complaint is that there is no “off”. There’s basically high, medium and low. Given that it’s not all that loud, it’s not a problem. I ended up putting another one inside the chassis to keep the air flowing after the machine has been shut off. The box cools quicker, preserving the life of all the parts. I love these things.

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.

I bought this little fan to cool an HD-DVR and Amplifier, both of which get very warm when in operation. My cabinet has glass doors which I had to open when in use so as not to overheat the equipment. I cut a small square opening in the back of my entertainment cabinet just large enough to wedge this little unit in. I cut a few other ventilation slots along the bottom of the rear cabinet and connected the USB cord to an open slot on the DVR. The fan has an adjustment for how fast the blades circulate air. Even at half speed, the unit kept both devices cool with the doors closed. Its a pretty quite fan, but at full crank is fairly noticeable which is why I keep it running at half speed.

The fan has adjustable speed using a easy turn knob, very quite at mid speed. I use it to pull air over my DSL router, and the router’s overheating resets, have stopped. Great metal wire housing supporting the fan. Came with 3 feet of USB cable. Would buy again.
