    does anyone know what brand of notebook cooler xoticpc is offering under the label "Full Size Black Aluminum Notebook Cooler - Dual Fans - USB Powered (For up to 17" Laptops)"? It kind of looks like a zalman on their accessories page, but I'm not sure.

    it might be... definitely for that price it better be a Zalman.

    its best to contact them to confirm.

    make sure its not the cheap knock-off by Bytecc

    They should make custom coolers for their notebooks.

    Optimized fan placement etc.

    Pretty sure it's a Zalman NC2000; someone here ordered it with their notebook and the stats fit. Xotic won't load for me so I can't look :)

    A tech in my office built his own cooler out of a couple of pieces of Plexiglas and a fan that he wired to run off of his USB port. Very inexpensive and looks great. I'm lazy so I would probably just buy one, if I had a laptop worthy of one :(

    I second the motion that you should call Xotic and ask.

    I sent them an e-mail asking what brand it was, and they only replied to say that it was out of stock.
