Worth it? (cooling pad/speakers)

Is it worth it to buy a cooling pad like the Zalman ZM-NC1000 O its for the m9750 alienware btw. I dont know if im going to do hard core gaming on it like crysis and bioshock but i will be playing cod4. So im not sure. im willing to dish out 50 bucks if it really improves your gaming speed. O yea i probably gonna spend about 2 hours on it a day sometimes more if im on a spree (3-4 hours)

Also i was wondering if it was worth it to get speakers for the m9750 because i like to get the full gaming experience so is it worth to spend around 60-80 $ for the speakers or not.

 

well the pad will make the notebook run cooler overall. your palm rest wont warm up as much which is enough of a reason if you're planning on using the keyboard and it'll also help if you have a sweaty hand.

i don't know about m9750 but speakers on laptop generally suck unless you get one of those 17" toshiba w/ harmon kardon's. i personally have harmon kardon soundstick 2 and it makes a huge difference in terms of sound experience. i do wish i went w/ klipsch though.. as they sound much better and it's more convenient (practical?) in actual use. sound makes everything come to life and i'd personally have incredible sounds over incredible graphics.

 

I would recommend a cooling pad as well. Might wanna just get a decent Bose headphones if you are on the go.
