    I found an Asus G50VT heavily customized on Ebay. Has the 260m upgrade with what looks like the 'Grab copper and a drill, now!' thread mod with cutting holes in the fake subwoofer to allow the fan to suck air in directly there, as well as copper. shims on the GPU. ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/grab-copper-and-a-drill-now.414147/page-139)
    9-cell battery, 2 additional internal fans sucking air in from the bottom it looks like. I wonder what the model of the fans are, they must be very thin. May try to do that with mine eventually, if it'll lead to lower CPU/GPU temps.

    I don't remember seeing anybody else add internal fans to this laptop.

    So long as there is a path for air to flow you can direct some additional cooling yes, it does have to be able to exit the chassis too.
