Great Accessory,

= Fun: This review is from: Xbox 360 Cooling Station (Accessory)
The Glow Stand Fan is a great accessory, one perhaps every XBox 360 user should not be without considering all of the heat issues the console has. I haven't used the other products that are out there, especially the Nyko due to users commenting that it melts onto the 360 and voids the warranty. Thus I can't compare the Glow Stand with others but this product is excellent. During my Oblivion marathons the air coming out of the back isn't quite so hot so to me that's reassurance that the Glow Stand is doing its job. The fans are relatively quiet-- as someone else already stated they're no louder than the 360's fans. The lights are pretty ambiguous; however, they do make it look a little bit more cool when they're on, and they act as a nice reminder that the product is still on so you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. Yes, you have to actually turn it off and on yourself, but if you're incapable of flipping a little switch then what are you doing playing video...Read more

Look no further for a cooling solution,

I have tried the Pelican fan stand, but the fan is weak and not as effective, plus it steals power from the 360, and results in crashes. I've never tried the Nyko intercooler, but it has terrible reviews due to the same issue of it stealing power from the 360 and causing huge damage to the sytems. But this Intec XBOX 360 Glow Stand with Fan is amazing and stands out because it DRAWS ITS OWN POWER FROM AN OUTLET, NOT THE 360.
First, it has two fans with its own power adapter you plug into an outlet, whereas other third party cooling solutions plug directly into the 360 and steal power. This allows the stand to have even more power and is able to support the 2 powerful fans unlike the flimsy little pinwheel in the Pelican fan stand. This also means that it is completely independent from your console and will not cause it to have problems in any way due to power shortage.
Second, the cooling is amazing. It feels like an air conditioner almost rather than a fan. The...Read more

The best yet.,

I have had every fan stand that you can find for the 360 so far and this is by far the best. It is the quietest and smallest. Does keep my system extremely cool but again is the quietest. It also does not connect via USB but through an AC adapter so it doesn't steal power from your 360.
It also doesn't obstruct the intercooler so they can work together.
*EDIT* Per another users request here is additional information. I hope this helps more.
I tried it without the intercooler and I also tried one of my other fans without the intercooler for you and from what I can tell the 360 casing is noticeable cooler with this stand. The casing normally gets extremely warm along with the air that is being sent out. With this stand (with the intercooler its better) alone the air itself from what I can tell is much cooler. I keep my 360 in an open area by my TV and since its winter the heater blows on the 360 so I find these cooling devices essential.
