Hello,
My Name is WRA and I baught a Laptop..
zd7040us (7000)
2.8Ghz
512 DDR 533 Fsb
Gforce 5600
I am a tweak freak and modder.. I build my systems.. *sigh*
I waS ONLY AT BEST BUYS TO GET A SALE HDD!!
So now what.. I am i still officially a geek?
I put rubber feet on it under the fan side.. thats a mod right?? : )
To improve air flow.. thing makes me nervouse so close to the desk.. just so... so.. close.
After 7-8 hrs of game play it stays about the same temp though fairly warm but no probs at all..
Tweaked it out.. tweak XP.. services.msc regedit.. etc.
I am impressed .. I can't believe I said that.. what if my freinds see me.. o well Thanks O ya. cooling better cooling... I have to cool things.. not used to anything I can't add 7 fans to.
Any input?

WRA,
It's okay, we'll still consider you a geek around these parts []
Hey, anyone that walks into a store and just can't resist buying a computer because it has so much appeal is still a geek in anyone's book. And the fact that you immediately started configuring and tweaking the notebook and constantly think about ways to keep it running cool....well, makes you a geek.
enjoy the zd7000! -
*Whew*!!
Thank you *sniff *sob..
It does make me giggle and feel good to look at it..
I secretly always wanted one.. MY LORD LOOK AT THIS SCREEN!!
Its just.. beautiful man.. (goosebumps)
so clear. so.. so crisp.. yessssssssssss.
out of the closet.. after all these years.. I feel so free.
so now what? more ram.. yes yes Babykins needs Mo RAM!!
Bwaaaaaahahahahahahah.
I'm OK now thanks for the welcome []

Hehe,
First congrads on getting the monster of a machine zd7000. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and you can't beat all this screen realestate. I have to open two browsers at a time just so I don't have to look at the emptiness on the right side of my screen.
I must be a geek like you because I started of thinking of ways to help with the cooling even before I bought it. I like your simple idea of just adding rubber feet (opposed of cooling pads with fans or pads without fans, ect...). This surely makes you more of a geek then me since I am thinking of stealing your idea (unless you copyright it before I get a chance).
Keep us up to date on your new home heating system

Also WRA111100 what rubber feet did you add? Are they anything special, or did you just go to your local store and pick up just any?
