    Dude, just a few threads down are a bunch posts on coolers.

    General consensus is a Zalman NC1000 or NC2000 or a Belkin Cooling Pad. All of which are discussed/reviewed in this forum.

    i would really recomend Zalman NC1000 for any notebook user. Its aluminum coating conducts the cold air really well and it is always freezing cold! Its good because this has effect on the environmental air which goes into the notebook through its air intakes :)

    the zalman on the lap always had me a little wary, looks like the fan cutouts would be blocked by my legs.
