Good solution to improve airflow in a closet

I use this fan to improve airflow in a closet that is used as an entertainment center. plug USB cable into any USB port), is versatile, quiet and requires very low power consumption. I use the USB port on either my receiver or my cable box to deliver power through their USB port. As an added convenience, many audio and video components now have USB ports, and many of these components (e.g. cable box, receiver, etc.) can only be configured to power their USB ports if the component itself enabled (e.g. the USB port is disabled). only turns on when you actually turn the receiver on) which makes it ideal as the fan only turns on when the heat source is turned on. For added convenience, the USB connector for the fan is pass-through, so other USB ports can still be connected. connected to the port used (note: I haven't used this feature so I don't know what speed it supports or anything about signal integrity). One (minor) gripe is that I wish it pushed more air through. , the fan is designed for installation, so they only have a protective grille on one side. I use mine "freestanding" so I need to buy a grille for the other side (but it's easy to get at computer stores). In general, this is a very practical solution for air circulation in the case.
