I've been planning to install a case fan to cool off the cabinet containing my Xbox360 and PS3. The idea is that when a console is turned on, the fan begins to blow the hot air out. Making a USB powered fan is easy enough but I'd like a circuit that would direct the power from either console so that I wouldn't have to swap the cable between the consoles.
What would be the simplest solution?
 
just something to keep in mind: the 360 powers the usb ports even if it is powered down, the only way to stop it powering the ports is to cut it off from the mains
