    I've recently ordered the Cooler Master Notepal U2, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to purchase a third fan or rig a third fan up some way. I think 2 would be fine, but 3 would be absolutely ideal for my lappy. Do you have any idea as to whether that's possible?

    It's pretty lazy but you could buy another unit (or just the replacement fan/s from coolermaster itself) and stick them on there... the fact that the tail connector on the USB plug can still power usb devices with the fans running suggests that it MIGHT provide enough power to wire in a third fan, but it probably isn't worth the hassle. If you're set on just 3 fans and not 4 though, you could buy the U1 fan which is a bit cheaper.
