"How to add an external fan to an external USB HD (hard drive)"
I guess most instructables start by a personal problem or challenge one needs to solve .
I got the new cheap Verbatim external USB HD 1TB for less then 90$ but it was so cheap Verbatim decided to leave out the fan so I had to improvise and add an external fan to keep the temperature down (it reached > 55C without the fan!
Now is Sumner time and the heat is UP - 38 C in the shade - we really got to cool it down.

Nice job. I don't have any external drives without a fan, but if I ever run across one, I'll use this.
