However, today my roommate, an Electric Engineer major, came up with a brilliant solution: ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images/b/b5/Cooler2.JPG) Let me tell you.. it worked very well! Not only did my computer not shut down in my past three hours of gaming, there was considerable less lag! My fingers were freezing though but I'm getting used to it. =) I was in such a good mood that my micro/macro improved, and I went 8-3. Today is such a good day.   | ||

Originally I already had 2 fans (the cooler under my computer) so I just sorta gave up on computer-cooling fans... it didn't occur to me that these megafans would work | ||

Rapid movement of fingers creates makes your muscles "hot", the fan hitting on your hand with cold air is a bad idea. Think of putting ice into hot water (not really as extreme), but will cause your muscles/joints to ache overtime. | ||

I like that lol http://www.logitech.com/en-us/notebook_products/cooling_pads/devices/6564 not everyone can afford the 80 dollar speaker laptop cooler and compy shit that actually works vs the cheap 10 dollar laptop coolers that if anything make your laptop hotter. ofc there are cheaper ones http://www.logitech.com/en-us/notebook_products/cooling_pads/devices/5493 but not as cheap as a 140mm computer fan hotwired to work. | ||

I got the fan from my old g4 and it pumps out 83cfm so I think I did rather well. Cutting the case was a little hard but it was pretty fun too. | ||

I only play SC2 on my laptop.. it runs it on ultra fine + I stream too... you can always get an external keyboard if it feels weird but I'm used to it now | ||

I actually had a friend who put his computer into an old fridge w/ a fan and cut a small hole for his cables. It ACTUALLY worked out well and he could overclock it pretty significantly. It was awesome :> | ||
