    Cryo all the way its well suited for the M17x for air flow .I have a Antec notebook cooler 200 which is great for the M17x i have seen it tested against the cryo & they have same amount of cooling .I originally wanted the NZXT cryo but was difficult to source in UK so got the Antec but i am very happy with it .

    I've been using the cryo. Works well with all my systems.

    There's this thread, Notebook Cooler for m17x, which has a few alternatives, as well as the popular NZXT Cryo LX.

    There's also the Zalman ZM-NC3000S due out soonish which you may prefer to wait for instead.

    Thanks for the info. I'll probably get the CRYO now and in a couple months look around again for my other laptop.

    Wonder which one is going to be the better buy? A single 220mm fan vs 3 120's? I know the Cryo has 4 usb while the Zalman has only 2. But, the Zalman is cheaper... Hmmm...

    The USB hub seems to be under powered when the fans are on with the Cryo. I use the hub with my monitor instead.

    That CRYO looks pretty cool. I think I might save up to get it.
