(More customer reviews)The Cooler, as Pelican calls it, could easily be the best cooler on the market, at least depending on your needs.
The first thing I should note here is that it is powered by the near USB, thus eliminating the potential of damaging your product. It has been well documented that the Nyko Intercooler has bricked many a system due to being placed between the console and the powersupply. So USB is definitely the way to go.
For users whom are gaming through the 360 wireless adaptor, don't fret. While The Cooler does use the rear USB, it also has a thru-port hub, thus allowing you to use both the wireless adaptor and The Cooler at the same time.
The unit rests underneath the 360, and if you lay your 360 on it's side instead of vertical, it has tabs on either side of the cooler so that it can be mounted either way. Once powered, you can feel a cool chill of air rushing out of your 360's vents. While it is only one fan (compared to Nyko's 3 fans), I believe that this unit does it's job just as well, especially considering you don't have to worry about it killing your system.
My ~only~ complaint about the unit is that the base could of had the rubber grips positioned better for better sturdiness. It is just fine how it is, though.
This product also comes with a gaurantee that if it causes any type of damage to your 360 that Pelican will replace your console free of charge. That rocks for a 19.99 product! Especially considering that Nyko has left many 360 users in the hole after the Intercooler killed their console.
All in all, this is the best Cooler you can find in the price range.
Pelican plans to release another cooler in a few months that is MUCH like the Intercooler (goes through the PSU), but also includes a USB hub amongst video expansions and other goodies. I'm (hoping) that cooler also includes the great replacement gaurantee, because I'd be willing to give it a try then. So if you're planning to buy this cooler now, you may just want to wait for Pelican's new one if a rear-fan sounds more appealing for you. I have a feeling I'll be sticking with this one, though.
