Hello,

I had been using a USB powered desk fan in the keezer to recirculate. It died recently (spins up then drops dead, repeat).

Looking for recommendation for a replacement. Preferably Amazon. Thanks!
 
If you don't mind my asking; Why USB? Is this part of a computer-controlled system?
I don't mind at all!

So, I'm trying to do an even swap for what's in place now. There's a USB power brick exterior of keezer. The fan sits atop a keg, facing downward. I don't want to / don't really have room to mount it. The wire passes under the freezer lid and above the collar. It's very thin so it doesn't create a gap where cold air gets lost. Then it plugs into the brick, constantly running. ;-)
 
That's exactly the one I planned to get, also found in @day_trippr 's search results.

Oh crap. You dudes just inspired me to check the power supply (USB wall brick) for the fan. Let me do that before buying a new fan. Thanks!
With apologies for being heavily opinionated, I'll be blunt:
The vast majority of usb accessories are cheap junk that won't last and the connections inevitably degrade... As much as I hate wall-warts, for your purposes I feel you'd be better served in the long run to go with the first link I provided for a moisture-proof 12V fan and just wire it in to a 12V wall-wart.
Just mull it over before you click 'buy' on anything.
