Anyone tried one of these on their scope?

I havent, but i just took a regular 120mm case fan and stuck a usb adapter on it. I power it via 2xAA batteries in an "emergency phone charger". Voltage is way under, but keeps it nice and slow so no vibrations, but still plenty of air movement.

Ahhh, well I've just ordered the USB fan off ebay for £2.85. Picked up a smaller notepad one from the local bargain store for 99p the other day which gave me the idea. The blue LED light gives the scope a very pimped up appearance.

Haha yeah i thought the same, but snipped the leds almost straight away after seeing blue light leaking in around the edges of the primary...

Fan came today looks a belter! Yes I noticed a blue halo around the primary from the smaller fan the 2nd time i used it so will have to exterminate on this one.
