    I'm currently searching for a notebook cooler for my m1530. So far I like the look of the Zalman NC1000, and it seems to be getting great feedback. http://www.laptopblog.org/entry/zalman-techs-ultra-quiet-zm-nc1000-laptop-cooler/

    But I would like a cooler that also has a USB hub, as my laptop only has three ports. Anyone have recommendations? One I saw was the NZXT cooler. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997340, but apparently it draws a crapload of power from your notebook.

    Heh I think you linked me to a thread about USB sound cards.

    Man if only the zalman had a couple more USB ports, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'd pick the zalman nc2000 for a 15" notebook instead of the nc1000, both models only sport 2 usb ports though.
