Antec Low Profile AV Component Cooler?

Is anyone using this cooling fan? I'm intrigued by its versatility as either a top-mounted (easy install) fan or even a "sandwiched" unit for separation and cooling where two components need to share space.

I'm thinking of it as sitting on top of my NAD 5-channel to simply dissipate some of the heat that builds inside my closed cabinet.

All comments or concerns welcome.

Thanks,

Dave

    I don't have one personally, but I have seen them in use. I wasn't really impressed with the amount air it moved. I use a pair of 80mm 12v DC computer fans, hooked to a 5v wall wart. Pulls plenty of air out the back, and you can't hear them running from more than 6" away. Total cost, less than $10.

    Perhaps an attractive solution, but not as viable as other options out there. Especially for the money.
