    the thermaltake is the cheapest, may i add :p
    the antec one i can also get it for cheap from Dell so price isnt a big factor!

    thanks again, and again. ^ ^ i know people have been telling me that 9 cell battery shud be sufficient to cool it, and yea i m aware,

    but personally im planning to use the cooler when im gaming
    which therefore means relying on AC power
    which also means no battery attached - just detach battery and leave it near a vent or something

    I would look at the Zalman NC1000 or 2000 aswell as the NZXT Cryo. Take a look at the notebook coolers buyers guide. No point in cheaping out, one user on these forums I know has tried probably 5 cheaper coolers before purchasing a better cooler for about 10$. I will not name the user as that would be rude.

    lol see, the thing is,

    the Zalman NC2000 isnt available in my area
    and Zalman NC1000 doesnt cover the area of my laptop (the XPS M1530.. ive seen a review where it clearly doesnt cool the entire base)

    the nzxt cryo though is a bit pricey, and its better off spending more money, i realize, but my budget right now is around 50 at max (keep in mind im in canada btw)

    not sure if yur first link was an accident, but if u'r thinkin about the first link. the cooler master, i would recommend u look into the cooler master infinite 8. its the newer (better) design of it and there is a review of it on here.

    heard alot of mixed/bad reviews on the antec cooler.

    the bytecc looks like a knock off of the nc1000, so who knows if it'll meet the bar.
