    Just wanting to know, are there third party cooling systems that are specifically designed for the Dell Inspiron 9400? I look at other systems, and they seemed designed to work UNDER the computer, while the fans openings are on the upper back sides...

    Alright, never mind my earlier statement. The intake is on the bottom, which I missed (who would've thought?), while those on the sides are the exhaust.

    But, let's rephrase the question. Which one is considered the best external cooling system? Which one reduces the temperature significantly at the best price? I'm looking around and I can't seem to decide...

    I have found the Spire Pacific Breeze to be very useful and significantly reduces the heat from my system. I know many people that use it and have nothing but high praise for it.

    I was looking at that one, and they do say that it can be used for any laptop, regardless of size, which is good since mine is gigantic compared to others. And it's dirt cheap, too.
