    Well I think your right, I too am looking for a cooling fan.

    Ermm I guess Ill go with the CoolerMaster NotePal Infinity, It has all round airflow or theres another one that something like N*** Cryo LX cant remeber exactly.

    The NZXT Cryo LX pumps more air to the M1530's fan intake than the Zalman NC2000. However, there are some things I don't like about the NZXT:

    Unlike the Zalman, there is no power switch so you need to unplug the USB power cable if you don't need the fans on.

    The control for the fan speed on the NZXT has no effect for half of its upper range (at least on mine).

    It's much bulkier than the Zalman.
