    So this is a pretty expensive cooler, but definitely the one I'm probably going to get. I've seen deals for this float around this forum at times, but I'm wondering if there are any current ones.

    So anyone know of a place to get this cheap?

    The cheapest I've seen so far (new and in stock) is here on Always Lowest and is going for $60.72.

    I've been scouting around for a cooler as well for my XPS M1530 and the NZXT was one of my options (along with Zalman NC2000). It's really on the expensive side, so expect to shell out a bit more for it.

    Yeah, I was looking at the NC2000 also, but if the Cryo can offer a better performance I'm willing to shell out $60.

    Definitely just go for the Cryo.

    The Cryo has slightly better scores than the NC2000 for particular notebooks, For the XPS M1530 thought, the fans are just in the right placement covering the ventilation below the notebook perfectly.

    The Cryo's extra 4 USB ports (5 in total, but one to power it) is another advantage over the NC2000 which only has two ports.

    buy it. use it. love it. $60 bucks is a steal cuz the nc2k is about the same price. there are plenty of guys that spent $70-$80 bucks for the cryo a long time ago, myself bein one of them.
