    Anyone have any thoughts on which of these is better for a DV7t?? P8400 with the 9600GT. I don't want to spend alot of cash and then find one doesn't work as well as the other.

    Ive read the reviews on both and they both have compelling arguments, I was just wondering if anyone had first class knowledge of trying both with a DV7 and seeing which one worked better.

    Thanks

    What he is saying, that he wants opinion for NZXT as well.
    Samiur, I bought a dv5t, and plan on getting NZXT over Zalman due to vents aligning better instead of wasting like 6 inches(front and back) to align with Zalman.

    Yes..thank you firelord. I have read all the reviews on both but I was hoping someone had done a comparison with the dv7t and how they worked with it. I have looked at the dv7t's vents and Im guessing the dv5t is similar, whereas there are not any vents on the front of the laptop. The intake fan is at the back and the two vented areas are in the middle and rear area. Firelord are you going to switch the fans around on the NZXT so that they blow air up into the laptop?? I beleive they come stock to suck air down.

    Thanks.
