That's odd, because none of my systems will supply power to the USB port unless they recognise the component (and therefore how much power it consumes).

I suppose it might work if the port was configured to run from 5v standby.

im sure there is some driver out there..like that is strong enough to power the fan that you could trick windows into thinking it was...
