I bought two of these little fans to use on the back of my Xbox 360. I wired the fans to a 12v power adapter so I could have them running off an independent power source. They both fit smugly between the A/V connector and the power cord port on my 360, I didn't even have to fasten them. I can play Halo for hours and never have to worry about overheating my Xbox. It doesn't get half as hot as it did before. This was a great way for me to dodge the risks of using an Intercooler.

So here's the weird thing. This fan on the website has the same SKU as one that is carried in the store. They have different model numbers, the one in the store moves more air, and is quieter. Same exact SKU number though. Anyways...
I purchased the one in the stores, the one with only the 4 pin molex connector. That was not expected but still ok. It has a splitter on it so I wasn't out a 4 pin, but I was hoping to have the direct connection to my motherboard. I replaced an aging antec fan with this one and was very pleasantly surprised when I turned on my PC and it was quieter than it has ever been. I can actually hear my TV again! Also the Antec I replaced was a LED fan which I was forced to buy at a local shop, I've always hated walking out into the living room and seeing the night lit up by my computer. Now using this little fan I have silence and a dark room.
It also moves a ton of air. My case temperature dropped by about 3 degrees.
What's great about it: Quiet as all get out
What's not so great: only has 4 pin molex connection

I bought this fan just to get a case fan and it was the only case fan at my Best Buy. It was a very good choice I made. My CPU and GPU is a lot cooler than they used to be. About 5-7 degrees celcius cooler. I use a 9800GT 1GB GDDR3 for my GPU which gets especially hot so I am happy I got this. I saw my performance soar. My computer goes much faster. The only bad things is that if your computer is in an enclosed area, then do not use which is with all case fans and this thing uses a 4-pin connecter that goes into the power supply instead of the motherboard. Overall, an excellent fan!
What's great about it: Moves hot air out!, quiet, moves at fast speed
What's not so great: Uses a 4-pin connector, do not use if your case is in an enclosed area

I currently have 3 of these little fans running in my case right now. Two are venting hot air out the top of my case through a modified blow-hole and the other is a side vent exhaust port. Seeming how I can actually get to these fans while they are running, I can tell they are moving a really good amount of air which I needed since I wanted to save space and not buy a huge case, so my computer is a bit cramped and they solved any heat issues.
They are also very quiet which is a plus, I can't imagine putting up with noisy case fans for very long.
I was also happy that the fan comes with a 3 pin to 4 pin molex adapter! If you're like me you probably have all your 3pin connections on your motherboard taken up already, so the adapter is what sold me. I am also thankful they aren't full of LEDs. Personally I can't stand the gaudiness that is LED lights.
