Pros: - Good thing in summer at the office.
- Not so hard cooling, but enough to keep you cold:)
Cons: - Build quality is not the best. The neck has broken when I put the fan at first (but it can be easily repaired with cellux).
- Light isn't so bright
- Could be cheaper...
Other Thoughts: - I'm using on the monitor USB hub. No overvoltage has been detected yet.
- Uses 3.5mm jack connector for head exchange. Can be used for DIY stuffs.
Bottomline: I recommend you to order one if you are hot:) Cool gadget at all. I'm sure I'll buy another one if it survive more than 3 month.
Cool Fan!

Pros: .
-Keeps you cool!
-It's black!
-2in1 Fan & LED!!!
-Very flexible
Cons: .
-Very noisy but you get used to it
-A little bit heavy for my USB ports
-My Ipod disconnects when I plug the fan
-LED not too bright
-A little bit expensive for the quality.
Other Thoughts: I ordered two one was black one was silver. One of them broke after about 10min of using, now its very noisy! It gets very warm after a while. The other one don't get warm but it vibrating so it's a bit noisy. But you get used to it in a while. A on/off switch would be great.
Bottomline: The USB-cord in itself is nice quality but the fan is horrible. If the fan was great quality its definitely worth the 6USD. It really blows but the speed of the fan is too high! TO NOISY!
great on hot days

Pros: -Nice design
-It blows hard enough to cool you down
-Easily bendable in every direction
-Not expensive
Cons: -little loud
-shorts when you switch the fan and light, so make shure you first unplug it from the usb port
-Light isn't very bright
Other Thoughts: It's good to have a USB hub or something on your desk to plug it into.
Also i think it would work fine with a laptop.
The light, in my opinion, is a bit useless, but it's a fun accessory.
Bottomline: Good deal, certainly for the summerdays.
If you are expecting some hot days, I recommend ordering one of these.

Pros: - Nice cool air!
- Very orientable
- Fan + Light
- Nice looking
Cons: - Noisy sound.
- Seems to be a bit heavy for my UBS screen port.
Other Thoughts: My screen have USB ports, so it's just the perfect location for cooling. BUT the motor fan is really noisy and I have to made something about it. I removed the sticky part of two "post-it" and put one on each palm. It slowed the motor enough to reduce the sound significantly. Reapeat the process if your not satisfied and keep in mind that the more you exeed the lenght of the palm, the more it will slow the fan.
Bottomline: If you consider using this fan for cooling yourself, then envisage using the Post-it trick to reduce the motor rotation. For hardware cooling in a server room, etc, then go for it unmodded!
