    Looking over the other posts on coolers 99% look to be geared more towards desktop placement than true laptop use . Looking for something that blows up with the intake in the back or be able to be used on your lap(bottom feed with enough space to work).Thanks!!

    You can just look towards something like a LapDesk.

    i picked up a targus lapdesk at target and mounted 2 80mm fans to it, works great.
    im going to go for a 120mm later tonight though.

    You can try finding a Vantec LapCool 3 ... The exaust is only at the back so you can even use it on a bed if you wanted to ... My g/f has one, and although i haven't run any temperature tests on it, it even stopped the wrist/touchpad area from heating up.
