Nice cooling solution

This may have been addressed in earlier posts, but I couldn't find any references to it.

I found a small USB powered fan (not one of those tiny fans-on-a-wire, like Kensington's...mine is a real fan set in an oblong case about the size of a large teacup) that I aim at the left corner vents while I play games. It makes a HUGE difference in how hot my 8600 gets or how often the internal fan kicks in, which is remarkably less during long gameplay.

You might look at these as well. Not as portible but maybe more efficient. Probably wouldn't hurt to have the other on for travel. From what I've read in the other threads, you want to open them up and reverse the fans so they are pointing up

Here it is... http://www.pctoys.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=826

Cost: $9.95

One thing to keep in mind - it can run on batteries, as well as USB, but it sucks them dry in just a few hours.
