Case / NB cooling
Just found this. Might help w/ people having trouble cooling their NB. Fan would be pretty far away, but this would at lease give you a mount in the area to play arround with.

Stay Frosty!
yea yea, more fan stuff... I'll get to the overclocking goodness once I order the dang thing.
Anyways, I'm goin with the GeminII S (since it will fit) and workin out all the other goodness.
ATTACHMENT: got another mspaint masterpiece here...
If you would, take a look and tell me what you guys think. I think the NB should be cool enough, and hoping for enough cooling for stable 3.6 gHz overclockness.
Memory
