> Cool.
Ahaha.
> How does it work - do you put the laptop on it?
Yes, and then plug it into one of your USB ports. "Please note - in order for the fans to work correctly, your laptop must have fully-powered USB ports (5V 500mA)."
> Can I sit on it if my bum gets hot?
If your bum has a USB port, yes.
> Can I get my cat to walk over it, then turn it on?
It's not compatible with cats, sorry.
*Begins the ice-cream days a-new but without robots*
That should fix it.
I think SR don't like robots.
Hedfix, ignore the naysayers.
You shouldn't need one if the laptop is working properly. Plus if the fan is blocked up then that's not gonna help much as the inside of the laptop will still be boiling.
I'm waiting for a mini-freezer cooling thing that freezes the bottom of the laptop so that it alwas runs at absolute zero or something. Then the days of overheating will be gone...
Hopefully this'll solve my "God damnyou mother f****ing coutnerstikre, you c*** cheap muvvablooming jibbajibbajehdkfjyaaaargh" problem.
Ahem.

Halo just became really really jumpy for me, in fact, all games did. Then I removed 'it' and all was fine.
Gonna buy Half Life 2 soon when I can be bothered. Probably at the end of May however as I've got 'loads of one exam' this summer. One exam, wooooo!

Hah hah "Power Filter".
Monkey Man I remember a thread in the PC gaming forum where yoo posted some pics of some corrupt graphics in CS <- the sign of an overheated GPU. I would say the GPU would be the most likely overheating component in this case and either its crashed your machine or windows has done the "Ive detected a critical failure and I'm shutting down" thing...
Laptop cooler??
