Ok, actually kind of a two-parter:

Are the USB ports on the xbox/hd dvd drive always powered, or just when the xbox is on?

Anyone know of a cheaper source for something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1195950999&sr=8-1
I realize I'll save $14k buying it, but it's still a bit expensive :)

I'm looking at putting the xbox into an enclosed area, and given the xbox's problems with heat, I'd like to mount a couple of fans (1 in, 1 out) to help with that. If I can use the USB ports on the xbox it's even better.

Thanks!

It seems to me the usb for the HD player is only on when the 360 is on.

Umm I have plugged my usb phone into the port while the 360 was off and it charged. So i believe there is good juice out of the front ports 24/7.
Wow what a deal!!!
