    The NC2000 should be fine.

    Also, if you want even more cooling while using the Zalman, remember to use the Fan Toggle (Fn+1) to switch all fans to max speed.... works great when gaming and such.

    The Zalman came down in price from what it was a few months ago.
    No reason not to buy another ;)

    Can someone take a pic or tell me how exactly the amount this cooler raises the back of the NP9262 affects their typing and whatnot. I'm a hardcore gamer who sits at a table to play and I love the height of where my 9750 is now, but I'm debating ordering this cooler for my 9262 coming next week. I'm just scared it's going to give it an odd angle I won't care much for.

    That's what my post is referring to. The angle in which the NC-2000 makes your laptop and the feeling of it.

    I have my 9262 on the Zalman NC2000.

    The angle that it gives me is extremely comfortable... far more than if the 9262 is alone on a desk. Just putting the 9262 on the Zalman makes it more comfortable, but I find the additional elevation the Zalman can give by putting the legs down to make even nicer to type on. It also brings the screen up to a nicer level, so its easier on your neck.

    My digital camera isnt with me or I'd take a picture for you, but I think its a perfect laptop set.

    Thanks a lot! That actually does make even more sense that it elevates the screen to a more comfortable level. I never even thought about that. I was more thinking of the keypad being at an odd angle and how that affected the feel. I'm about 95% sure I'll be ordering one just in time for my new 9262 next week. Can't wait!

    CRYO NZXT cooler is great it does a great job cooling with the 3 120mm fans, they push out a lot of air and the vents on the bottom line up very well for the NP-9262, I got mine in black and it matches up very well with it.
    I heard reports of this cooler being loud and that's not really true, yes they are audible but they put up about the same noise as a idling 9262.
    Has no external power supply it plugs in with a USB cord.

    these sites give it some great reviews,look I'm not saying the Zalman 2000 is not as good but it is another nice option that looks and works great!

    IKAS V, thanks for the tip. I need another cooler so I ordered a CRYO NZXT.
    I'll do a comparison review with the Zalman using a 9262 over the weekend with some pictures.
