The newer model of the Intercool should be fine, and it won't burn down your house.

Or any USB powered fan.

go to Wal-Mart, buy a cheap fan and point it at the unit. You will get 10 times the airflow then one of those intercoolers.

You can save a few bucks and as always you will get more for your money as that fan can be used anywhere in the house, not just to cool your 360.
I am always looking for the multi-task products.

It is cheaper but the intercoolers suck air out of the machine and a household fan will blow air in.

Yes, it sucks all right. Where as the fan will move 10 times the amount of air through your whole 360, thus cooling it faster and better.

All you have to do is turn the household fan backwards and it will blow the air out not in.Its a cheap method that probably works,but I never used it so I can't really give an opinion on it.I think either way you go the more air flow the better,but you have to position it right or it won't do you any good.

It doesn't matter what you do to it, if you have the non-Falcon, you're gonna get the RROD eventually. I used a regular fan, used the vertical cooling fan, never played more than 2 hours and mine got the RROD twice.

I have had my first console since January of last year, and the second one for about 8 months. So far so good. My first one does have the talsimoon fan, the elite is stock.

What helps me i think is the fact that i keep my house at a nice cool 75 degrees year round because i have a lot of electronics, which of course do not like heat and also give off a lot of heat.
