    i was looking at the review and i was going to be getting a zalman cooler for it when i thought, where are the fan vents for the laptop. i looked at hte pics in the review and i saw a couple of small ones on the bottom and some on the front. can a owner of the system confirm the locations of vents?

    Lol,fans are always under the GPU/CPU area , and have openings right on bottom...
    What you`ve seen in the back/front(if so) are the vents .
    A zalman NC1000 or 2000 would make good use of air and help cool your laptop down.
