    I got one, it worked alright but since the fan is exposed on the bottom it likes to bite fingers or make a ruckus on anything but a flat surface

    How much does it cost in English? No...wait :confused:


    Anyway, it doesn't look sturdy and there's no angle for the keyboard. I would ignore.

    Hahaha that cooler you linked ht is $12 at my local big lots. Doesn't do any better than the cheap cooler originally linked but least it has a guard for the fan.

    I didn't buy it and won't spend $30. I already have a Cooler Master U2 & U3, but a single fan seems like a good idea.

    I was just pointing out that ebay can be pretty expensive compared to local. I check around first before I shop online, don't like waiting for stuff. Besides seeing something in person is when you can best decide if it works for you

    Might as well get a name brand laptop cooler from a major retailer. Cheap, unbranded stuff from eBay is always a shot in the dark. At least from a major retailer you can read reviews and find information about a product. It's worth to get something decent that will last a couple of years than save a few dollars and get a craptastic generic product from eBay that will break in two months and possibly set your house on fire.

    I just grabbed the Thermaltake Massive 23 LX laptop cooler from Amazon for $27 with a mail-in-rebate of $10 and free shipping. Amazon is great! :)
