When I saw this, http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=1088 the first thing that popped was that these fans would be perfect for micro setups.

I also saw this, http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=0808 possibly good for daisy chaining fans.

Those fans just don't last long if left on 24/7. So I'd buy a few. or jsut use small pc fans designed to be left on.. Longest I had one of these USB fans working was 3 months... my missus buys me a couple for my xmas box every year now.. :D

This is some good info, thanks hulldj.

After reading this post, I looked at the pics of the fans and the fan without the housing does look a little flimsy. The one in the housing looks to be rather solid, so I suppose looks can be deceiving? :lol:

I've never personally used a USB fan, but when I saw these the first thing I thought of was a micro grow. I agree that computer fans are better suited, as you stated they are designed to run 24/7/365.
