I was going to get the smaller one that fits over the existing fans but I think Ill get this for the added USB ports :)
Just been reading amazon reviews and it seems this isnt such a great product after all :-(
"The cooler king is basically a big rip off. As the 360 was not designed to have its pre-existing connections mannipulated in this way, most users will be utterly disapointed with the accessory. The componant RGB connection on the rear does not work the way it should as the colours are wrong (most display with a pinkish/redish tint). However the VGA connection does work up to 720p (apparently).
By the way to any previous critisisms about the cooling system... YOU ARE ALL WRONG! the system works by sucking all the hot air out of the system, not by blowing cool air into it. It does work and stops your 360 from crashing and distroying your discs.
However my advice is to spend the extra cash and buy official 360 accessories as they are all certified by production line watchdogs (they do what theyre meant to!)
And as for a cooling system... buy the NYKO. It was commissioned by microsoft and is cheaper than the cooler king. It is the perfect solution to the console hanging, discs cracking and the "RING OF DEATH" problem with the DVD drive.
(by the way the console will not put out 1080p without the 360 adapter which will "enable the switch" in the console)"
"I bought the Cooler King for my xbox360 under the impression it would make things run a little smoother..Got all the component cables and digital sound cables plugged in,ready to go.I turn it on and my xbox360 loads up with a bright pink screen..Not chuffed.
Waste of money.So are the Nyko cooler fans too come to think of it."
"takes power from usb and the av port, so fans run at 5v and 0.12a each, they dont feel like they push much air at all and seem like more air moves with it off. but you can dismantle this with a screwdriver so a mod on the fans to say sum delta fans and a external 12v supply would be good. the vga works fine on it as does the svideo and composh*te. comes with a composite to scart cable and the 4 port usb semt good for my 4pads but doesnt have enough power to run the webcam! again kinda bad. oh also myne the component wouldnt output above 480p even if the manual said it would. i thought it was of my cables so i bought some new good ones and still no joy, i have heared from the manufacturer that the low usb power and non HD componet output has been fixed on the new version but i wouldnt buy this unless you know its a new one, myne came from play . com and was a old one. still if you want to plug ONLY 4 pads in and use vga output this is dam handy and cheap, if you want extra cooling and component its a risk and alot of modding to get what you want."
Still its only £12.99, might be worth a go!

Just change the fans inside, dont see how bolting stuff on will help that much, get to the root of the problem :)
Im a bit hesitant to mod my box until I know it is definately out of warranty, once that occurs then god help it :D
Im steering well clear - theres loads of reports of them melting to the xbox and also if you have to send your xbox back microsoft have been voiding warrenties if they see the scratches they make from where they clip on. Ive stuck to just letting a desk fan cool my 360 works great.
Little chance of melting with this one as it doesnt connect via a pass-through on the power connector.
