    WOuld like it to have a USB Hub. Would like it to be built for 15" notebooks. Looking for good performance.

    Zalman NC2000 has gotten good results from the G50 days ( review), since the chassis remain the same, its still getting good results on the G51, and i would assume the G60/G51J. Another options is NZXT Crylo LX, that comes with USB hub (i never used it though), but the NC2000 seem to match better the placements of the vents on G51, but still does fine. Dont expect more than 3-5C from the NB Cooler.

    stick with the 2000, it has recieved good reviews and has better cfm output due to larger fans.

    I own the Zalman 1500... I cant compare it to the nc2000 directly, but I can tell you that the NC1500 is a little smaller (fine for 15" notebooks), and it is made of cheaper materials. Otherwise, its basically the same. I'm happy with it; I don't regret buying a bigger and more expensive cooler.

    I also have an NC1500 and its working fairly well with my G51VX-X1A But I'd be willing to bet on a fair margin of difference between the NC1500 and NC2000.
