they tend to break down/get noisy after a few months ,,, buy a few , stick them in cupboard for supplies.
or put them on ebay for non forum members to buy

These can also be used with other devices that lack USB ports as you can get a USB mains plig and a USB 4/7 port hub pretty cheaply. Thats what I use.

Of course this is not just restricted to dreamboxes but anything that needs some cooling

Even if the fan stops working (or you find it too noisy and you unscrew it) , then these can also be used as a stand to provide some ventilation from underneath a receiver so that you can acheive maxium life out of the product

The cooler has been on 24/7 now, started getting a little noisy, but cured that.... Stuck another 70mm brushless fan on top. Will upload pic soon
