Not enough power. USB ports only give out about 5volts so if your fan is small that would work fine. Most of the notebook coolers on the market are usb powered that's why the fans are smaller and also less noisy but at the expense of lower air flow. I am using an old 12volts power adapter to power my fan. The fan is 12volts. I use a molex connector(HDD power connector) for attach the fan to the power adapter. If you need any help with the connections and stuff I'll be glad to help out as I have the tools. FOC :) eL, I’m not using USB. Not enough power.

The tricky part would be getting the right hight. You could alternatively look at acrylic/plexi glass too. Available at shops doing adverts or also frame shops. Will cost you under RM50 at most. eL, The fan I use is slightly overkill actually but it looks cool ;)

The fan sucks from below and blows up. Reason being my notebook's air intake in under and blow out behind. WL, actually my legs cold. The fan sucks from below and blows up.

If you are the same then it would make sense to work your table but if not you're better off buying a retail cooler. What's ya thoughts? eL, my notebook is on the table 70% of the time so it made sense to make the hole.
