    I'm planning on buying a z81sp laptop/desktop replacement and was wondering if anybody would have any recommendations for good cooling pads that would work well with a burning hot desktop replacement not waste my money.
    It might also be important to mention that I will b using this computer for alot of halflife2 modding, which has a tendency to really heat the computer up.

    Just elevateing my current gateway desktop replacement (p4 1.6ghz) on 4 dvd cases and having a deskfan blow on the underside works perfectly (it completely elimenates any warmth) but i need something that will be a little easier to take along to different locations (the library, my home away from college, to friends' houses to work on halflife2 mod stuff.)

    I really like my Pacific Breeze. I'm not sure if they sell them still, but I did pick mine up at Newegg. If they're out, you'll have to do some searching. This thing is nice and small so it's easy to travel with and does a good job. The only problem is that it and the laptop must sit on a level surface.
