In the evre increasing world of gadgets, I suppose we're all looking for the occasional gem amidst the sea of unnecessary and poor standard items that are available to use. Rising above them to a certain extent is this dinky little fan, easily available from amazon.co.uk for prices ranging from £4 to around £8. The fan itself comes in minimal packaging, and is accompanied by a 1.5 metres long cable. So far, so good, but what's so special about it? Well, not only is it smaller and less cumbersome than a lot of the fans available, but it's also the way it can be powered. There are two options, and while you can't hook it up to the mains power supply, it has ...  Read the complete review

We have air conditioning in our offices, but for various reasons during the warmer months there can be times when it is nice to have a slight breeze blowing through the offices. Now many people like to just open the windows, but then that kind of defeats having the air conditioning on in the first place because it will only really work with the windows closed.

Hence, when I saw this Veho VDC-001 fan on Amazon last year for just under £7 ...  Read the complete review

I work in a hospital and, as such, the ward is often very warm even in the depth of winter! As part of my role, I have to complete a degree of office work and locked away in the office within the ward is, believe me, very very warm. For this very reason, I invested in a Veho PC Cooling Fan so that these periods of time when I have to sit at the computer were a little more bearable for both me and my colleagues. I looked around as I only wanted a cheap fan as it was not for home use, and I came across the Veho PC Cooling Fan which was ridiculously cheap. I found one online from The Electrics Shop 2 (www.electronicshop2.com) for just £3.07, and while I was a little dubious  Read the complete review

This was a secret santa present that I got last year and therefore it is safe to assume that it would cost under £10 and that is the case as checking it online you can actually get it for £5 from some retailers however I understand the price has actually come down in the last year. It is a small black fan that plugs into one of the usb ports on your computer, I use mine with my laptop which has four ports so it is not an issue for me having to give up one of the ports to power this. You can also opt to power it using 4 AA batteries if you do not want it located close to your PC. The USB lead is short so for those using a desktop PC where everything is stored away from ...  Read the complete review
