5.0 out of 5 stars Great Accessory April 17, 2007

By RPG Fan

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

The Glow Stand Fan is a great accessory, one perhaps every XBox 360 user should not be without considering all of the heat issues the console has. I haven't used the other products that are out there, especially the Nyko due to users commenting that it melts onto the 360 and voids the warranty. Thus I can't compare the Glow Stand with others but this product is excellent. During my Oblivion marathons the air coming out of the back isn't quite so hot so to me that's reassurance that the Glow Stand is doing its job. The fans are relatively quiet-- as someone else already stated they're no louder than the 360's fans. The lights are pretty ambiguous; however, they do make it look a little bit more cool when they're on, and they act as a nice reminder that the product is still on so you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. Yes, you have to actually turn it off and on yourself, but if you're incapable of flipping a little switch then what are you doing playing video games in the first place? I love my 360 so a cheap add-on that helps with heat issues, doesn't void the warranty, and isn't annoyingly loud is pretty much a no-brainer in my book. Great item, get it.

**EDIT***
I read about the new Nyko Intercooler EX on IGN and how the new model has fixed the problems of melting and so forth. I've purchased it and it works excellent! Working in tandem, the Glowstand and the *new* Intercooler EX make my X-Box feel like it just started up after 3+ hours of use, both to the touch of the console itself AND frame-rate and load times. Check out the Nyko Intercooler EX (The EX, not the old one!!), these products WILL save your 360.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look no further for a cooling solution December 19, 2006

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I have tried the Pelican fan stand, but the fan is weak and not as effective, plus it steals power from the 360, and results in crashes. I've never tried the Nyko intercooler, but it has terrible reviews due to the same issue of it stealing power from the 360 and causing huge damage to the sytems. But this Intec XBOX 360 Glow Stand with Fan is amazing and stands out because it DRAWS ITS OWN POWER FROM AN OUTLET, NOT THE 360.

First, it has two fans with its own power adapter you plug into an outlet, whereas other third party cooling solutions plug directly into the 360 and steal power. This allows the stand to have even more power and is able to support the 2 powerful fans unlike the flimsy little pinwheel in the Pelican fan stand. This also means that it is completely independent from your console and will not cause it to have problems in any way due to power shortage.

Second, the cooling is amazing. It feels like an air conditioner almost rather than a fan. The two fans are extremely powerful, thanks to having unlimited power from an outlet. It can blow a heck of a lot of wind into your console. It's a little loud, but no more than your 360.

Third, the lights look awesome. It produces a nice glow effect around your 360 with a greenish-turquoise color that adds to your 360's look. The light runs up the sides giving it an awesome beacon-like look.

It also comes with two pockets for memory cards.

If you want, since it is my preference, I like to put my console in horizontal position. The horizontal position is better than vertical because there is less risk of damaging your disc drive or your game discs. I know this stand was designed for a vertical position, but if you find a wired shelf or wired elevation of some kind (you can get them at Target for five bucks), you can stick the stand through the spaces between the wires (or clip an opening) and support your 360 in the horizontal position. This elevation on a wired shelf will allow your 360 to circulate air better, because it is not in contact with any surfaces that will block it. Doing this in conjunction with the glow stand will leave your system COLD!

In summary, it is the best cooling solution yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet. November 30, 2006

By M. Clancy

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I have had every fan stand that you can find for the 360 so far and this is by far the best. It is the quietest and smallest. Does keep my system extremely cool but again is the quietest. It also does not connect via USB but through an AC adapter so it doesn't steal power from your 360.

It also doesn't obstruct the intercooler so they can work together.

*EDIT* Per another users request here is additional information. I hope this helps more.

I tried it without the intercooler and I also tried one of my other fans without the intercooler for you and from what I can tell the 360 casing is noticeable cooler with this stand. The casing normally gets extremely warm along with the air that is being sent out. With this stand (with the intercooler its better) alone the air itself from what I can tell is much cooler. I keep my 360 in an open area by my TV and since its winter the heater blows on the 360 so I find these cooling devices essential.
