Installing the bluetooth module and not letting it "idle to save power" also gets rid of the annoying whine in my 9300. Yes, not allowing the bluetooth to power down cause eat up maybe 15-20 minutes of battery time, but it was...

Thanks for the help guys. The Dicota case looks pretty nice, though it doesn't seem to be carried here in the US? I also found a Skorba case which looks very nice and doesn't use a zipper. I might just end up getting that one. Any...

If you're running with Aero (which I assume you are), the entire GUI is 3d accelerated, thus running your card in 3d mode instead of 2d mode. This will cause the GPU fan to activate much more frequently compared to in XP where it should...
