    I just sold off my inspiron which had been functioning as my main computer, since it had some gaming abilities. It was originally my intention to replace that with a gaming desktop, but now I think I am going to hold off, mainly because I don't play anything but TF2 anymore and my M1330 can handle it (on lowest settings, which is fine for how often I play).

    Because I will be using my M1330 MUCH MORE now, I am going to get a cooler for it.

    Not looking to spend more than maybe 60 bucks, but if you've got something that's more, show me anyway. I might cave.

    Thanks,
    Hep!

    EDIT: oh, also I traded my 6 cell battery for a 9 cell with a user on this site. I haven't gotten the 9 cell yet, but I know it raises the laptop up a bit in the back. How much does it raise? I might need a cooling mat that can accommodate that or something.

    NC 1000 if the m1330 is a sucker type.

    Sucker type? The fan on the bottom is an intake fan, yes. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks much everyone, but what about the 9 cell battery? Think I will have a problem, or not?

    If i remember the 9cell lifts the notebook? if so just remove the battery when the cooler is plugged in since I doubt you would run cooler off battery.
