If I buy an external USB powered fan like this one, will it work with my Xbox 360? It is hot as hell inside my entertainment center and I'm afraid of something breaking.

I would NOT use an external fan, you would be blowing hot air back into the 360! If your 360 is properly ventilated it should not overheat.[/QUOTE]

Well, it sits inside of my entertainment center and whenever I open up the door it feels hot as hell in there. It sits alone on a shelf with about 4 inches on either side of it and probably 6 inches on top and in the back. The only other things in there are my PS2 and GCN but those two are on the lower shelf and none of them are on simultaneously.

USB is very low power, have you ever had a usb key overheat?

From what I hear, the USB fan is pretty quiet, and as far as heat dispersing out the back and that being a bad thing. When you blast cold air into a porous object, it really doesnt matter where it disperses, cause it desperses all over.

I think the fan is a good idea, and the fans I've had for the Xbox and the 1st PS1 were awesome.

Does that mean I can stick a fork in there?
