It voids your warranty and does absolutely nothing except make a lot of noise. This is probably your best bet. Just put your 360 on top of it and let it cool. It draws power from the USB port, meaning no warranty issues there.

I used the Intercooler on my 360 for 6 months before selling the system and never had a problem with the 360 or the Intercooler.

i wouldnt get it as it voids your warranty and people have complained about it breaking and melting their 360s which is why it voids your warranty. I mean i would rather have my 360 break and send it into MS to get it fixed then to let some cheap thing break it and be stuck with it

Don't get it. There are many people complaining that it dosen't work and it makes more noise. It also voids you warranty.

1.) Can't void your warranty unless they can prove it was on there (ie: if it melts to the back of your console or leaves a burn mark) Though you could argue that you had a powersurge. 2.) Intercooler works GREAT for me, never have any problems with overheating or playing times. Have played many 16+ hour gaming sessions with no issues. I recommend it. Although,I'm considering the new one that plugs into the video and USB port on the back, and leaves the power supply port untouched. Looks interesting.
