    the best 17" coolers are:
    - Zalman ZM-NC2000
    - NZXT Cryo LX

    You're always around when I need some answers. Thanks a lot Gophn. The thing about the NC2000 is that the airflow seems to be designed for the middle and bottom of the notebook. Based on the pictures, ( I have yet to receive my notebook yet) the whitebook's air holes are more so to the top. Will that affect the cooling at all? Does anyone who use a whitebook have any first hand experience or opinions in regards to this?

    The Cryo on the other hand does look like it will accommodate the whitebook perfectly. The problem is I had already ordered the NC2000 and it is sitting here next to me waiting for the OCZ to arrive. Again, thanks for your quick replies.

    The Zalman is a overall good cooler for most notebooks.

    but you can try it out on your notebook first before deciding to return it for another cooler.
