    minor external cooling question

    I would like to get an external cooling fan for my laptop, since it is obvious that I do have a temp problem, though not serious at the moment. Where or what should I buy? I am hoping that it is about 25 dollars or less for something that does a great job. Thank you for any imput at all

    That is a bit more then what I am looking for. Going through newegg.com, there are ones with one fan, two fans, three fans, no fans, some claiming that it will work for any laptop. What's the difference between those specs?
