It's made up of a 12v power brick, a gamecube power switch and an xbox fan.
@snowpenguin - the smoke seems to go up to the handle of the soldering iron before going off through the fan. Have you noticed this? Maybe it's just where I'm positioning the fan.
Thanks for the idea. This should save a few headaches.
To... The... Handle? Mine goes straight to wherever the fan is, but I usually forget to turn it on, then I remember, then I'm too lazy, so it's usually off.
I'm thinking of grounding it as well for working on static unfriendly systems.
