I wasn't sure about this fan at first, but it was dirt cheap so I figured I'd give it a shot.I've been very pleased thus far; my Wii used to be quite hot to the touch in WiiConnect24 mode, and now it's no warmer than I'd expect an electronic device in standby mode to be.The fan runs reasonably quiet; it's certainly audible but I've heard worse.I haven't had a chance to test that the USB passthrough port works since there currently aren't any USB peripherals available for the Wii, but it's nice that they thought ahead and included it anyway.
My one gripe is the red LED, which is constantly on and is quite bright.It's not a deal-breaker, just an annoyance.
The Wii is still too new to really know whether temperature is a stability or reliability concern, but I don't aim to be the first victim of Wii overheating, especially when a solution exists for a measly two bucks.I'd recommend this to any Wii owner, especially one who lives in the middle of the desert like I do.
Edit:Roughly three weeks after receiving it, the fan died without warning.I guess you get what you pay for; can't say I should have expected different given the price.Buyer beware!
