    Hey guys, I'll be recieving my dv5t (finally) next week, and I'm bored today so I'm making a cooler/stand for it. I've already made my 2 80mm usb fans, and I have my plexiglass and how I'm going to make it. My only question left is where to place the fans.

    I think I will put one shooting air into the intake fan that you'll see in the top right of the picture. Now as for the second one, any opinions where it should go? I would think if there's any bottom vent near the gpu that would be the one. But I don't know which one that is, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    edit: I could also use an overall measurement of the laptop, length x width

    No suggestions? Oh well, I'll figure it out when it gets here. I found the dimensions, and I've already made it, I just haven't put the fans in yet. Gotta get my dv5t first.
