    I've been looking for fans for my laptop before, and today i saw this on buy.com. Is it a good one? Are USB fans just as good? Let me know as i want to order this ASAP!

    Go search for "laptop cooler" at www.newegg.com. Better prices with customer reviews to better base your choice on. They have a wide variety of affordable laptop cooling pads. Give them a try.

    I have this cooler. It's amazing. My laptop fans never come on now and the excessive heat problem I once had is now gone. I got it for something around $10 but considering how cheap they sell it on Buy.com, I'd say go for it!

    I've read bad things about the Antec. Take it with a grain of salt. I own a Zalman NC-1000 and it works good. For a 17" the ZM NC-2000 for 17" notebooks that is coming out will be one of the better notebook coolers IMO. Do a read and try to find reviews of units before you purchase. Try to find reviews of a notebook similar to your being used to test the unit with also. Some notebooks have their suction vents on the side vs the bottom. Each does have some differences.
