    I'm buying an Acer 3830TG, so I'm going to need a solid laptop cooler for gaming.
    Can anyone suggest the best cooler I can get? Or the best price :performance cooler on the market?
    Thanks!
    Oh, I also already have a Zalman NC1000. I bought this like 5-6 years ago, how does it hold up to today's standards?

    I think the storm is one of the best ones out there. But what turned me off was it required a outlet to a plug to spin at max speed. So I went with the coolmaster U3 which can let you choose the fan locations. This will let u focus what area you want. I as well have the Zalman NC1000 that had an rpm speed of 1500 max. i wanted an upgrade and went with the U3 which has a higher max rpm of 1800. Again, I like it because it can be used as focus cooling as well as higher rpm. Also take a look at the cyro lx. That is also one of the top coolers out there as well.
