    I need some advice on getting a laptop cooler i already own a nz2000 however it only has 1 usb port and i do not notice that much cooling from it.

    so i'm looking for a new notebook cooler for my Alienware M15x one with as many usb ports as possible and preferably powered (not usb powered). Also i dont really mind how loud the cooler is i just want the most powerful one and the one with the most hubs.

    the other thing to note is that my M15X fits the Nz2000 perfectly so i can go any small.

    thanks

    ye i have looked at the NZXT Cryo LX it is probably the best option if i can get a hold of one they seem to be difficult ot get in the UK there are some on ebay though for around £80.

    The one above is a laptop stand its not a laptop cooler as it has no fans.

    thanks anyone else have other advice

    ye but i usually use my laptop with my g930 on so noise is not a problem for me and my m15x can get quite loud under load anyway.
