5 Stars Cool Running!
I ordered one of these to use with my overheating external disk drive (no AC here!) for my desktop, but ended up trying it out by taking it on the road with my notebook. It is QUIET! The hard drive on my notebook is louder than this fan on low, and so far I haven’t had to run it any higher to keep my normally hot-running notebook completely cool. It’s kind of spooky, really, it works so well.

The fan speed knob is prominent enough that you don’t need tiny hands to turn it, and turns smoothly enough that you’ll find yourself casually adjusting the fan speed without even thinking about it. The stand is nice and springy, and has no trouble at all supporting the fan when it -is- turned on high. There’s no blowing this fan over!

The other nice aspect of this fan is that it has a nice long cord and a wide enough range that it can be aimed to cover several devices at once — including the notebook! Pair this one with an inexpensive USB hub to make sure you’ve got plenty of ports on hand, and you’ve got yourself an all-weather kit for your notebook that can take any heat.

I can’t wait to get this home to use on my desktop and external hard drives!

4 Stars good quiet cooling device for PS3
During the warmer months my PS3′s fans would spin up and become loud after 20 mins of playing games like COD4 and CoD world at war.

I decided to try this fan after reading the reviews. My ps3 is not in an enclosed cabinet but is on a 3 level TV stand and sits on the middle shelf. The stand is open on all sides.

Putting fan behind PS3 at the exhaust port to help draw hot air out, did not work.

What did work was aiming the fan across the right side about 3 inches away, my ps3 is horizontal, and letting the fan blow into the intakes and across the exhaust on the back.

The fan is very quiet on medium speed and runs on the USB port so it powers on and off with PS3.

I played 45+ mins last night and the fan did not crank up like it has before.

Seems to work well.

only complaint is it took way too long to get here.

5 Stars Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan – Us USB Fan
In our building we are not allowed to have anything to plug into the walls. The building was built about the time of the Civil War and the ventilation isnt great. I was among a number of scofflaws who had an electric fan anyway because I could hardly breath in this building.

They cracked down in inforcement of electric fans, so when I saw this USB fan it looked to me like the answer to my problems. It only plugs into my computers’ USB port and has a good airflow – not as good as my electric fan but better than any battery powered fan I have every used.

Everybody is happy.

4 Stars Thermaltake USB Fan
Great little fans. I purchased 4 of them for a video recording kiosk box. I love that I can just plug them into the computer rather than have to figure out the wiring. They are quiet, but not silent at low speeds. Instead of using 2 fans in the kiosk (one cool air in, one hot air out) I had to only use one since the microphone did pick up some air noise. The air noise could just be related the box that the kiosk is installed into. The air speed control knob is solid and feels quite high quality and easy to control. I would highly recommend these fans. Hopefully they will last the run of the kiosk.

5 Stars A gift from the Gods! lol
WOW, this little thing is amazing! I just got it today, still have not got my fan pad (that goes under my laptop) and this little fan is already cooling my laptop. I have a GATEWAY FX gaming laptop and it gets HOT HOT HOT. This little fan brought my computers temp down way more then my old fan pad (before it broke). So with this little fan teamed up with my soon to come fan pad my computer will be nice and cool.

Thanks Amazon! FAST shipping!

5 Stars ASEUS netbook
Excellent product, love the keyboard and screen size; perfect for travel.

However! the first shipment arrived with a dead hard drive, had to return. No problem with 2nd shipment. Plan to purchase another for college kid. ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook – 9.5 Hour Battery Life

5 Stars Great Product
I bought this one with Eee PC 1000HE. It works with Eee PC without any problem. It is easy to install it by following the instructions on the Internet.

5 Stars Adds the extra memory
Really Amazon, it’s memory! What am I supposed to say about it? Good transaction, works fine.

2 Stars Mixed feelings
I bought this for my Asus eee pc 1000HE and it made my computer much faster and it ran pretty good. However my computer would not run more than an hour without crashing. After it crashed it would not be able to start back up for about 10 hours. I have no doubt that it made my computer faster, but it didnt allow my computer to work properly so I am living with my 1gb of ram.

5 Stars OCZ 2GB PC2-5400 667MHz DDR2
This product is worth the buy. Works very stable, and the timing is fast with respect to the frequency set at 667MHz. However, this RAM was used with an ASUS 1000HE, and it worked flawlessly.

4 Stars Too small to hold the net book and the burner
This is fine for the net book only, but I need to store the charger and the burner. The reason for me purchaseing a different one.

1 Star to small
This case is a tight fit on my acer aspire 10.1. Not enough room for accessories. After I bought this I bought a leather case that wraps around the copmuter like a book cover so I can use the computer while it is in the case. That way it is protected while using it (when I’m most likely to drop it).

4 Stars MINI COMPUTER TRAVEL COVER
I BOUGHT THIS ITEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND LEFT ON AN EXTENDED TRIP SHORTLY AFTERWARD. THE HP MINI THAT I USE ON THE ROAD FITS PERFECTLY AND THE EXTRA POCKETS ARE FINE FOR MY NOTES AND SUCH. IT WAS MONEY WELL SPENT.

4 Stars Does the job
I purchased this sleeve to protect my new 10-inch Acer netbook. It’s a tight fit because the netbook’s 6-cell battery sticks out a bit, but the sleeve is elastic and with a slight tug it fits just fine. The side pocket holds the power supply and a flash drive. This sleeve was inexpensive and does the job. What else could you ask for? I recommend it.

5 Stars Great fit!!!
I purchased this for my Acer Aspire One 10.1 netbook with the six cell battery and it fits it wonderfully. I am able to fit the power cord and the computer in the case and close it. It is a snug fit which is just what I was looking for. I don’t use any other external devices (i.e. mouse, hard drive, etc.) so I’m not sure how they would fit inside the case but there is an extra pocket that could fit note paper or some other slim items. This is definitely a great buy.
