Anyone know of any larger sized fan type coolers?
I just tried the largest one I could find, a Targus Chill Mat XC. It's too small for my Toshiba L355. I can fit it on there, but the feet hang off front to rear and it has to be positioned perfectly.... and there's no way to keep it positioned perfectly.
Ideally the cooler would be 14.5 x 11.5 on top (and flat... rounded corners don't help and the Targus has those).

Newegg.com - NZXT Black Aluminum Notebook cooler w/ 3 120mm adjustable fans Model CRYO-001B
This is a cooler I used on my massive 17" gaming laptop, and it worked very well. The only issue is the corners are very sharp, so if you do buy it, you may want to either grind them down to make them smooth, or add some rubber bumpers. I've had my fair share of fairly mild cuts with this thing. -

You may also consider the Cooler Master Ergostand Notebook Cooler as it supports up to 17", has a 140mm fan, adjustable angles for ergonomic use, and a USB hub.

It costs $32.99 and has great reviews. -
I do not monitor my hdd temps, so these temps would only be for CPU and GPU. They both dropped around 3-5° C or about 8° F at Max Temps. With my GTX 260M, I was able to play Aion on Max settings for 14 hours straight and the computer never crashed, slowed down, or got hot enough where I had to stop playing and let it cool down. Also it was 14 hours straight with the laptop on the cooler on my lap the entire time in bed (Quit the game, so I don't play 14 hours straight anymore). Started at about noon, and stopped at 2-4 am, and the laptop was never hot to the touch when I took it off the cooler.
