    Hey I had a question relating to the fans on the sager..

    Which direction do they push air? Do they push air out? or suck air in?

    If there are fans that do both can you diagram which fans pull air in and which push it out? or explain in detail.

    Especially if there are any fans on the bottom; what do they do? Suck in? or Push out.

    Thanks.


    and a questions relating to that, is it better to have fans on a notebook cooler that work against or with the fans on the laptop or does it matter. Currently I have a Antec Notebook Cooler http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=75004
    and I believe it sucks air down and away from the laptop instead of pushing air into the laptop... is that ok?

    The fans on the bottom suck air in and it pushes out the back. It would be best to have a cooler that pushes air up into the fans, such as the NC1000/NC2000. (that is what I use)

    Size. Your 570RU will hang a little over the sides on the NC1000. The NC2000 is a little bigger then the 570RU and fits it better.

    1000 is made for 15" so your 5792 will hang over the sides a bit.
    2000 is made for 17".

    It is well worth the money :) In my opinion the Zalman is one of the better ones on the mark. :)

    Yea, will get it on Monday.
    It will give me a chance to compare both, I`m sure a lot of people want to see a showdown, at least in terms of build quality and looks.
    I`m pretty excited :D

    Oi, one concern I have is... does this cooler have a extra USB port or anything? My current cooler, on the back of where it plugs into my USB port has a extra slot so in effect it doesnt use up one of my USB slots ~ seeing as tho the 5792 lacks USB slots, I would want to make sure this has a extra USB port on it somewhere so I dont lose a USB port?

    Thanks for your quick reply...

    The Zalman has one USB port on it, so you will not lose a port. :)
