    Ok, so I've posted on here once before, but I've been trolling this site for a very long time reading what you all have put up and comparing it to what i wanna get for myself.

    Now, I'm going to college in august, and am waiting to get a Dell E1705, cause i get a 12% discount on top of all the other discounts, through my school, because i have a feeling they're gonna be quick off the block w/ DX10 *i wanna play Crysis in DX10 not 9*, and heard they're gonna be releasing new models soon.

    Now I will be lugging the dell around w/ me a lot, the weight doesn't bother me, I did roofing over the summer for 3 years so 10lb isn't anything. When I'm in class I won't need a lot of power, but in the dorm I plan on using the Dell for high end CAD stuff, Zbrush, and video games. That's gonna use a lot of power and a lot of heat, so I need to find a good docking station/cooling pad combo that I can put my lappy on to charge/keep it cool while I trek through Oblivion or such. I've searched around but haven't really found anything that stands out.

    Price isn't TOO much of a concern, I'll be buying it myself. Any information would be greatly helpful, and thanks in advance.

    To my knowledge, there is not cooling pad/dock combo. The best you can do is get a cooling pad and a seperate USB hub
