I just bought one of these little badboys for a price that wasn't worth it at all. I took it out of its packaging and popped into a USB slot on my 360. Immediately the fan started up, then I noticed how loud it was. The thing was louder than the Nyko Intercooler (which sux too!) I am not kidding. But it did the job, it got the 360 cool by aiming it at the holes on the side (mine sits horizontal.) I took it out after 5 minutes of its loud buzzing and tried it on my PC to make some use of it. Didn't work. Hmm, this was strange because I just had it running a minute ago. Still won't work. I popped the top of it off and noticed the wiring through it was attached to the fan's battery with masking tape. Masking tape! I'd expect something a little more than some tape. I tossed mine in the trash, but if you got money and want to try your luck, go ahead. But my advice is, if your 360 needs cooling that bad, then it needs to be returned. Mine doesn't even heat up too bad, I just wanted to try to prolong the life of it. And really I don't need to do a thing to it. Just make sure it's in a ventilated area where the heat doesn't rise up past about 72 and you should be good. If it's overheating tremendously, it needs to be returned.

But otherwise, go with Pelican products if you really need it, and remember that ventilation (making sure the holes on the 360 are all exposed to air) is key!

Its great, I use it to ventilate the back of my computer. You cant beat the price and delivery so its basically a good product even if it craps out in a year or two.
