A good cooling stand is probably the most important accessory for gaming laptops–even if you don’t dabble in overclocking, a high-end machine gets really hot when you play games on it. There are plenty of laptop coolers on the market and some of them are quite useless. I’m personally using a Logitech N200 for my P150HM, which is a really comfortable product, with the major downside that the fan is located just between the CPU and GPU. As a result the single fan barely cools the laptop at all, so the internal fans are working overtime all the same.
PC peripherals manufacturer NZXT has come up with the perfect solution for this problem by making the fans movable and attachable with magnets in just the right places (why haven’t anyone thought of this before?). The Cryo E40 looks like ton of other coolers on the market, but the clever part is hidden underneath, where two 80mm (2500rpm) fans with a magnetic clasp design reside. You simply move these fans to your laptop’s hotspots, i.e. the CPU and GPU locations.
Other than the movable fans the Cryo E40 is just like any other cooler, with a low-key design and USB-powered fans, but those fans are a pretty significant selling point. Unfortunately for a fair share of gamers, the E40 only supports laptops up to 15″. The E40 will sell for $27.99 starting in May.
Meh :/ Only up to 15″.
I need a super cooler for the P170EM (I blame my unsatiable need to overclock for this).
Perhaps I can make my own refrigeration systems with a metal grate at the top, and then put the laptop on that.

Time to find those little office refridgerators on ebay and goto home depot…
