    Anyone use the cooling pads for overclocking? If so, which brands
    do you use?

    I am looking at the Targus on sale at best buy for 19.99.

    Thanks,

    Sounds about right. When I bought mine Circuitcity.com had it for $20. I opted to pick it up at the store so I didnt get charged shipping.

    Just place a freaking huge fan underneath ur notebook like Vicious had done. It ll be hell cooler (weird abbreviation) than any notebook cooler u can get in the market, the only thing is that even if u have a nice fan it won't look that nice together with the notebook...
