    Default Cooling a laptop

    Hi everyone

    Following a gig that went really bad (laptop just crashes because of the heat), I m looking for your top advices on cooling a laptop.
    I m working on numark NS7 so it means the cooling system can not be heavy as it will be supported by the embedded stand of the NS7.
    So far, best reviews go to logitech N-100 for like $25.
    If some of you have a cooling system in place and would like to share, I will really appreciate some good tips and experiences before investing.

    Thx all ,

    Bviman

    PS : the heat is due to the fact I m leaving in a caribbean island where it s like 40 degrees C and 92% humidity at the moment :s

    i got one of these;

    my laptop has had sever overheat issues for the last 8 months or so, partly down to me tweaking everything i could to highest performance and all but melting the processor (ok completely down to that).
    instead of 0-80 degrees in 30-45 mins it gets to around 40 degrees and stays there.

    nice thing with the usb is it's open ended so you don't have to lose a port.

    @bradsee : no : the stand that comes up with the ns7 is quite good actually but no positioning.That s why I need a flat cooling system such as the antec one or the logitech or somthing similar (less than 2 pounds) to put right under the laptop ..but it needs to be plain and the same size as the back of the laptop.
