Best Xbox 360 Cooling Systems
1 x Intercooler Fan for Microsoft XBOX 360. The unit consists of three extra cooling fans in a plastic housing that snaps onto the rear of the Xbox 360 to circulate more air and lower the internal temperature of the box.

Find Best Price at Amazon"the fans originally rattled when running; so i dissembled the fans from the housing and added more foam padding between fans and housing."
"Noisy BUT.......I put a thin sound dampening acoustic foam pad below my XBOX 360 and it made the unit much quieter."
"OLDER Xbox 360s' do NOT have the side vent, so this is about all you can hope to do. its cheap, works as well as it can for what it is."
"So, I fixed it, and it ran fine for about another month. Highly recommended if you have fixed your RROD and need extra cooling."
"The Xbox 360 I had for over 8 years, was losing power to its fans finally."
"Using it along with the stock fans, which I did the 12 volt mod, it keeps my Xbox 360 nice and cool, so I am happy with it."
"So if your Xbox is just overheating, but not to the point of red lighting this might fix it for you, or if you are just looking to extend the time before it does red light, this could be for you."
"Not only did my xbox Not work when i used this the new xbox i got from a friend of mine who moved to Thailand fried my xbox & its a limited addition xbox to."
You¿re a 24/7 gamer and your Xbox 360 never gets a break. Your Xbox 360 has never been cooler.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased a thermometer for a fish tank (the sticky strip ones you put on the outside of the tank) and put it on the XBox 360 near the top on the outside of the unit by the CD Tray. I started up my XBox 360 at a room temperature of 68 on the thermometer and within 15 minutes the XBox had a tempurature or over 100 degrees farenheit! The air coming out the back was just swealtering hot and the back (underside) was almost too hot to touch. The air coming out the fans in the back was mildly warm as was the backside of the unit!"
"The main complaint is that the switch is awkwardly placed at the rear and is too small for a chunky, ill coordinated teenager's fingers to easily access without knocking into/over the console. Look forward to customizing it at a later date to make it more securely hold the unit and increase airflow by replacing or removing the grills and upgrading the fans to greater capacity and tolerance which should both minimize the noise and improve cooling."
"After 8-12 hours of game time, your xbox 360 will eventually still lockup and freeze from heat build up. [Verdict]. Worth the price for older model 360s in both money and noise."
"It is also nice because it doesn't suck power from the xbox because it has its own power source, which makes it better than the others since they also just drain the power."
"Useless, Loud and counter-productive."
"I don't have any way to scientifically measure the temperature of my console, but I can say that just by placing my hand in the back I can feel a noticeable difference in airflow with the console resting on this fan stand. This fan stand has it's own AC adapter, so it is not stealing power from the console and will not void the warranty."

I have found the cooler portions strongest point to be that it is quiet, yeah thats about it.. just quiet. The battery charger is a nice plus but I found the attached batteries do not last long and need to be recharged frequently."
"For the fan strength, maybe a light breeze is all you need to cool it, what do I know."
"I even charge my controllers via my PC... (call me paranoid...). But I found this unit, and it does exactly what I need (cool) without messing with any internal power drain..."
"i love this thing, it works really well, i just wish it would: turn on itself when it gets too hot, be on all the time, or at least have the on/off switch in a convenent place."
"My major complaint with this product is... Every website that sells it (including Mad Catz's website) says that this fan/stand powers through the Xbox 360's rear USB port."

Being that I've had the Xbox 360 for just awhile, I'm approaching 40 hours of controller usage and haven't experienced any issues. I haven't needed to be 30 feet away from the console, but it works just fine from the opposite end of a typical living room."
"I already had two of these controllers, so it made sense for me to buy the dongle for my standard xbox 360 controllers (this one) and not PC-specific controllers. 5/5.

"Just what I needed to replace old one...came with batteries which was a nice surprise."
"when using it i noticed suttle differences, the first was that the D-pad was chrome,secondly it was a nice supprise the D-pad is much higher for easier maneuvering and not as stiff than your typical wireless controller you buy anywhere. and your thumbs fit in te center much better. i waited to right this review because, i wanted to see if it could stand up to the challenge of a full 2 weeks of Black Ops 2. it did very well. to test the right trigger button i used the following guns SMR and FAL.i choose these because they're not automactic from the start. since the rubber is more durable and textured differently i found your able to go around people easier."

Find Best Price at Amazon"So on PS4, in order to use the lighted feature, you'd either need a USB extension or be sitting face to face with the system."
"It's a long braided cord with a velcro strap to keep it shorter if you are close to where it plugs in. The lights are cool, and optional (uses a usb plug in addition to the aux plug for sound)."
"Also they should include the adapter to have the headphones and mic merged to one 1/8 jack otherwise the jacks only work one at a time."
"These headphones aren't going to be the best thing you ever purchased, but they definitely get the job done."
"Cord is quite long which is good to be able to move around while playing and not tied to TV or Xbox."
"The area in the center of the cord that hold the mic volume adjustment housing has caused problems with the wiring. I had to constantly unplug the set from the laptop and let the cord unwind so that it would be straight again. By the way, I will commend them for finally putting up an image showing how to connect the headset to various devices. Original Update below initial review: Last night the mic went out on my other headphones, which will just not do. After spending several hours looking around at various gaming headsets, I decided to give these a try because they had pretty good reviews not only here but on YouTube as well. I unboxed them, put them on my head and immediately felt a huge difference in how they feel sitting there as compared to SEVERAL other pairs of headsets I've owned. I watched people unbox these, plug them in, get in to a game, and talk about the sound AND THE MIC. Read every last word on the product page, and there it was, hidden all the way at the bottom right next to a pic talking about the flexible headband. I am not happy that they put that very important piece of information way at the bottom of the description after making no mention of that earlier. I've seen others state that they got about a year out of these...that's not too bad for the price, but after having just about every pair of headphones I've owned have some problem, I'm leery to get my hopes up. Again, that was the entire reason I ordered the headset...and now I can't use it until I can find this adapter and the time go get it. And will also eventually update whenever I can get an adapter...which I'm not happy about that I have to make a trip to the store that I didn't want to have to take. Pointless to order it on Amazon now if I can find it since I'll spend more for the shipping than the item will cost, undoubtedly. They offered some compensation that I did not ask for, and we had a discussion about the placement of the information regarding the jacks on their product page. We had a few emails back and forth requesting certain things, and in the end, I have decided to up this to a 4 star. Again, for the price, this headset is comfortable, I've not had even a HINT of a headache and I've worn them daily since I got them...for hours each day...not just to listen to music, video, or while gaming, but because I have obnoxious neighbors who don't know how to be quiet. Of course a headest worth a few hundred is going to sound way better, but for $20, these are comparable to headsets for which I've paid 2 to 3 times as much. They are good, they are not jaw dropping incredible, and you do have to buy an extra part to make them work. Plugged everything in to the adapter and then adapter to the appropriate jacks, double checked "level" under recording devices in sound, pulled up Sound Recorder, blabbered something, listened back...let me tell you all, the mic is surprisingly good! I've been using the Microsoft LiveChat headset for awhile because my Razers died and the LiveChat has crap for sound in headphones but fantastic mic....well...this mic on this headset, once you get the adapter, sounds just. No echo, no hissing, no buzzing, no weird metallic sound to your voice..."
"They worked fine for 2 uses then all the sudden stopped working completely."
"Unfortunately I bought this for my son for Xmas and he ripped the box’s and threw it out ."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I took them out of the package and bent the hooks around each individual controller so the mounting would be a tight, secure fit. I found about three different manners in which the hooks could mount each controller and settled on the fit I thought looked best and cleanest. It was still able to mount just fine, but due to the Steam Controller's admittedly poor design, the hooks never looked right and it hangs crooked no matter what I do. Instead of trying to find space for a bunch of controllers laying around haphazardly, they now look like a featured piece of my office."
"There are no off the shelf wall hooks from any home improvement store that fit the bill as well as these."
"Personally, I didn't bother with the anchors because the vast majority of my controllers are relatively light, so the screws directly in the dry-wall provide more than enough strength for the clips. Upon installing them, I began testing out different controllers to get an idea of just how well the clips could handle them. Thanks to the easily adjustable hooks (you can bend them however you see fit) everything from NES to Dreamcast controllers fit perfectly, regardless of size difference."
"Controllers mounted. In that specific mounting location, it's a bit hard to line the controller up with the hook - but, if you're mounting them on the wall, it's a non-issue."
"I can't tell how they work, but the ability to bend them to a desired shape is pure genius. You can bend them by both width and depth, but the parts that don't bend are solid as a rock.Within 15 minutes, I had mounted the brackets for an Xbox One controller, a Playstation controller, and a TV remote."
"Use these things to mount almost anything to the wall."

"after trying to return the game to no avail "because it was opened"...I decided to look and see how much the hard drive was.....$130 !!!!"
"I am familiar with AGPTEK products as they make many grey-market OEM replacement hard drives for a lot of makers. The fact that you cant use standard laptop hard drives is another key proof they are protecting their interests and not ours. New Microsoft Xbox hard drive works 50% faster than this OEM piece of crap."

"This hard drive worked beautifully right out of the box, I popped it into my Xbox and started downloading all my games for it."
"Terrible quality, worked perfectly for 3months then starts showing e68 error on Xbox 360 so now it is useless and a waste of 30$."
"The only writing the hard drive did have said this (word for word): HARD DRIVE FOR X-360 MADE IN CHINA..... On top of this, which made me very skeptical right from the start, my xbox could not even recognize the hard drive."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Immediately when you turn the wheel, the game responds. I tried some other games as well - the newer ones work great, the older ones (e.g. Harms Way) usually don't - the game only reacts when the wheel is fully turned which is useless. There's not much difference with arcade games where it doesn't matter a lot how much you turn the wheel. But I had a great experience with Dirt 3 where it makes huge difference if you turn the wheel only a little or a lot. With the wheel, I can e.g. maintain a 40% position on the wheel and just slightly change the throttle or the break."
"I first bought the XBOX 360 Wireless Game Controller *FOR THE PC*. I like the controller but saw some steering wheels for sale and thought I'd like to try one for Dirt 3. I had read around how this did work with PC's, but I thought it would also have come with a wireless Dongle. Once I got it, I had to pop the batteries out of the other controller and then sync this up with the Dongle I got with the handheld controller. PRO'S. More like steering than controller. Reasonable Price. Works with Wireless XBOX 360 Controller for PC's Dongle. Nice Layout. Weighted and comfortable. CON'S. Doesn't come with Wireless USB Dongle for PC. Some response lag in certain Races. No method of calibration for start and end of steering wheel turn."

"Got this for my kids (we were blowing through double A's like crazy), After getting this I'm sure i've saved more in money in not having to continually buy AA batteries every few weeks to a month tops."
"I got this cause I have a normal back with batteries, and the batteries die easily and my wireless controller has to always be plugged into a falling apart play and charge kit. Also, my turtle beaches make a buzzing noise when the controller is plugged into the play and charge kit."
"The universal one was clunky and hard to get the controllers to charge."

"It would certainly fit a set thicker than the one I have. Now the cord to the Kinect is hidden from sight (I hate cables) and the Kinect is on top of the television, where games keep telling me it will work better."
"In my case, the sensor was annoyingly interfering with the sensor for my TV which is also right in the center of the TV at the bottom. I really didn't want to push holes in the wall for the mounted ones and the cheap knock-off version of this type of holder at the local super center didn't look at all sturdy. It would be about the same as if the Kinect were on the second floor of a house that sat on a slab or basement in terms of motion."
"I have a 42" LG LCD TV, and though this does go over top of the TV and stays there, it doesn't really adjust to grip the TV that well."
