    What are some of the best ones that combine a cooler with a notebook stand ?? I need something that will be strong enough to hold a Gateway P-6860FX. I will be using a wireless keyboard / mouse combo with it. Thanks for any info. God Bless :)

    those fans are small and not really well placed. You would be better off with a real stand and a real cooler than trying to combo them together into one.

    Exactly Those fans would be useless for almost every notebook.

    As viscious says buy a cooler and a stand. There are many stands which would fit a cooler quite well.

    The placement of the fans on this one looks like the Rosewill unit.

    We just bought one.
    Surprisingly enough it sucks the air downward rather than blowing up.

    The fans on the bottom of the laptop pull from the bottom and push out to the side.....

    But the rosewill unit has a specific metal body to dissipate heat and is actually best matched with the Macbook Pro which has NO VENTS/FANS ON THE UNDERSIDE. Therefore fan positioning wouldnt matter in that case.
