    Sure if you like to waste money +$30 on a cheaply made bag go for it. I got this Rosewill for $30 when it was on sell and its only $40 now which isn't bad at all. It fits in there nicely even with the battery attached.

    Well from the customer reviews pen, looks like you would need to fine the edges down...might cancel my order I ordered today on newegg tomorrow if anyone recommends it..(the shipping costs A TON as it is...21 bucks :/). This laptop is costing me a fortune, 90 bucks on accesories if I get this cooler, I am gonna buy the bb warranty so I can get the 1050 to buy a new one in 2 years...I believe that is 350, right? Also, just to be sure the lojack software so if it is stolen I can get it back since the BB warranty doesn't cover theft :/(5o dollars)

    Might want to make sure that HP fits the P-xxxx FX series, Zat.
    Its 18inch on the outside.
    The P-7805u is 15.75inches.
    Most backpacks usually drop a good 5 or so inches in the inside.
    So the laptop compartment might only be around 14ish inches and the laptop wont fit... Never had it though, just going by how most of the backpacks run in sizes. (Slappa matrix is 22inch on the outside but the laptop compartment is 16inch, For example)

    I got the geek squad black tie warranty for $350. If something happens you know they will probably swap with one that has the WXGA screen. So I wanted to keep it cool and running trouble free.

    Yes, using one now and works great. Much quieter than the Cryo LX and puts a good amount of air everywhere underneath on low, including the hard drive area. High makes a little more noise but nothing like the Cryo. Angle sucks a little though, it lifts the front of the notebook to much or more than I like but is tolerable.

    Okay, guys. I've just checked the rates. So, the UPS and Fedex won't do - way too expensive.

    Ground or airpost to States are about 20-30 bucks. If you're ok with it - I can buy the coolers for you and ship it. So, everything's gonna be around 90-100 evergreens. And I'm telling you, it's really worth it. PM or email me, I think we can arrange everything.

    Here's the box with specs and dimensions compared to regular DVD case.

    that one's the AC version, same price, even buying both of them you're still saving a BUNDLE over any competing device or devices, they're refurbs sure but for 40 bucks shipped for one of each (and the DC version is seriously tiny) I got both to tote around for any situation. Also nice thing on the DC one you can unplug the lighter socket adapter and behind it is the EmPower plug for most airlines aside from the ones that just use regular automotive sockets.

    Just bought the belkin cooling pad while it had a rebate offer on it.

    While I don't monitor temps religiously, I have observed that the laptop's fans doesn't kick in as much anymore. I am getting the Zalman NC2000 to compare, as I do like the option of lowering the fan speed on the cooler to lower the noise. The Belkin is loud but since I don't have the Zalman yet, I don't really have anything to compare it to.
