 Ok Fan November 12, 2009

I'm a little disappointed with the fan for $15. If it was a sub-$10 fan, then it would be excellent. It is quiet on most speeds lower than full, and moves a decent amount of air for a 5v fan, but there is no "off" except to unplug it, and the speed controller isn't very high quality (I'm not surprised at the number of reviews complaining about it failing). Mine still works after moderate use for the past 8 or 9 days, so I'm hoping I have one of the more reliable units.
I also do not like the cord for this fan. It's flat, and rigid, and has an obnoxious cable reel in the middle of it. It's convenient for rolling up the cable when the fan is not in use, like if you use it for a laptop, but it gets in my way most times (especially since the reel is heavier than the fan, and it pulls the fan down off the desk when I am using it to cool myself, instead of the computer).
Overall, I don't feel it is worth $15. If they drop the price to $10 or less, then I'd say you're getting your money's worth, but at $15 you are not.
 fans to keep cool November 9, 2009

Purchased 2 fans run by the USB and put them into a hole I made in me desk. Takes out all of the heat from under the desk where the computer is stationed. Comes on only when the computer is on, GREAT.

Was having trouble with Satellite receiver running hot. This is the perfect solution. It blows air in the right place and is powered by the usb port on the reviever which is very convenient.
 Outstanding Li'l Product October 30, 2009

In this day and age, one actually expects electronics products to be overpriced and work poorly. The Thermaltake Mobile Fan II was priced so cheaply, and arrived so quickly after ordering, that it was hard for me to take it seriously. I figured it would soon be functioning as a paperweight on my desk. I was wrong.
My office desk is a huge, hulking piece of heavy dark wood, probably designed before computers were even extant. My PC is tucked into a large enclosed cabinet, and which functions as a sauna for the computer. A passing IT guy warned me that the increased temp would undoubtedly shorten the life of my hard-drive, and he was right: it eventually cooked, and we had to buy a new PC. In the hopes of extending its days on this troubled planet, I bought the Thermaltake II, and was immediately impressed by how something so small could produce so much cool air, so (relaively) noiselessly. By opening the cabinet door slightly to serve as a vent, I can now blow all the hot air generated by the PC out into the office and keep the cabinet temp low. Which is precisely what I needed it to do.
The Thermaltake is small, powerful, and has adjustable speeds; its only drawback is that it is USB powered and therefore draws its source-energy from the computer, which means it can only run when the computer is on. Because of that I penalized it one star, but It is a workhorse, blasting cool air all day without distracting noise or malfunction. In short, it does what it promises to do, and for very few bucks. Highly recommended.
