    If anybody owns an M860tu and a Zalman Cooler (1000 or 2000 model), could you please upload pics to give us all an idea of how they look underneath this laptop?

    Also, has anybody done tests with their coolers? I read an extensive review of both coolers done by another forum member, but this review was not conducted on an M860tu... so I was wondering if anybody has any temps to give an example of the cooling power?

    Are the vents and air circulation on the M860tu ideal for this cooler? I don't know if the Zalmans contradict the airflow of the M860tu or help it.

    Thanks in advance for any replies to my demanding question!

    EDIT: Just noticed, after posting this thread, that Legacy40k has posted a similar one asking to see pics of the same thing. Sorry! Moderators, feel free to delete this thread.

    I ordered the nc1000 but I'm uncertain because the "cooler master infinite" works on the same principle, and for me the temperature of the HD it still has worsened. Perhaps a sucker would be a better fan ;)?

    A sucker fan would not be good as the laptops own fan sucks air from the bottom, so a sucker pad would reduce the airflow to the laptop
