we canadains get shafted on all types of shit. I dont understand why they dont atleast have the option to ship it here? They dont loose anything! Anyway, I ordered that other one I was talking about, ill let you guys know how it is. I have been playing HL2 and Fear, all on full settings, overclocked, and my computer dosnt even really get that hot! The fan rarley comes on!

This isnt exactly a cooler. But I feel it helps with all laptops to improve airflow and also puts my laptop on a perfect angle for typeing. It is a great product and I will put them on evry laptop I purchase in the future.

I have a feeling it's not going to last long, but for $18 shipped, I"m willing to risk it.
OK, DO NOT get this cooler. It works fine, keeps the bottom of my laptop's chasis pretty cool. HOWEVER, it draws power from the USB, which means from the laptop power supply. I tried to see how cool it keeps my laptop while running intensive 3D stuff. So I fired up 3DMark05. It keeps crashing, I retried 4 times and it crashed without completing the benchmarks. I thought wtf, my 3DMark05 install must be corrupted. Then it occurred to me, could it be my 7800 GTX doesn't have enough juice now? I unplugged the cooler, BOOOM! 3DMark05 ran to completion every time! I plugged the cooler back on and ran 3DMark05 again. BAM! crashed in the middle of Proxicon! Now I don't know if other USB powered cooler will have this problem, but this one does! Wasted $18.20!!! Not worth returning to Newegg, anybody want it?

Damn, can anyone confirm a notebook cooler + 7800 = instability?
