    1.So I guess the Zalman NC2000 is the best cooler to get for a 17" so I plan to order it. Where is the best place to purchase this?

    2.I recently purchased a WRT160N router and it is working great. (72mbps~54mbps) My question is I have noticed it gets a little hot. Nothing too crazy so I am not suspecting a problem. My question is, I am gone from my house all day long (I work until 7pm) and I just leave the router/modem on. WOuld it be beneficial for me, as well as save router life, to pull the plug on both router and modem and replug when I get back home at night? Or will this mess with the signal (turnung on/off) etc..?

    3. Can I change my screen name? Now that I am a gateway owner :) I looked in User CP and couldnt find a way. If so, any help? Thanks

    1. i dont know what the best cooler is, for now i just raise (an inch or less) the back of my 6860 when gaming and get 64C tops.

    2. Won't mess up anything at all if you decide to turn them off. However the only good thing about doing this is you will save on electricity bill :). Other than that it's not worth turning it on/off all the time. One thing less off of your mind.

    3. I have no idea.

    3. You have to PM an admin for them to change your name.
