Well i have a overheating issue on my laptop that reduces my Fps by 80%, so i have developed this setup to "help" keep my computer cool.

Yes, a icepack. I've heard way to many "horror" stories from store bought coolers so i am wondering is there a better home made alternative other then buying a tower. (planing to buy Asus G73JH laptop next year for $1600)

I know someone who bought one of those laptop stands with a built in fan (powered by USB)... They bought a £40 one for £20 half price, and said it worked amazingly..

 

Example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Laptop-Cooling-Capacity-F5L001erBLK/dp/B001HNOLBI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1287356604&sr=8-2

 

I cant vouch for that particular one btw, it's just the kinda thing im talking about :)

Edit: This one seems to have great reviews (logitech) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-N100-Laptop-Notebook-Cooling/dp/B001USTPT8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1287356604&sr=8-4 but some are saying the fan is too weak.. =/ I guess it's worth having a proper look around..

Well i'm sure you'll be able to search for those type things elsewhere and find someone else selling them if you'd prefer that :)
