    Hey, Just got my new Dell XPS for Christmas and I love it. It plays Skyrim and Crysis on high and kicks my friends maxxed out 15z. One problem though. It gets REALLY hot to the touch after 20 minutes of gaming on either (even when sitting on a desk, and particualry on the base next to the fan vent) so I am looking for a new cooling pad. I was looking at the Coolermaster Notepal U2/U3 due to the configurable fans but I was wondering what were other peoples experiences with this pad. Any other recommendations? I am ordering online so if it ships to Tasmania then I can get it. Thanks in advance!

    Thermaltake massive23 LX. Love it. I open the bottom panel, pushes air right into the bottom via one giant fan. cheap on amazon too. Heard about it on this forum.
