Solving a HOT HOT Laptop Problem.

Having a laptop next to you can get pretty toasty over prolonged usage. That's normally a common issue. And for mine, it's a big big problem. Every time a laptop gets too hot, it'll automatically force my system shutdown, and have to let it cool down for a bit before restarting the system again.

Now as you know I extensively use my laptop for Facebook and YouTube if my bro's using my rig outside my room. Games are done there. However not to disturb my parents in the wee hours of the morning, I game with it. Problem is that system heats up alot during gaming. Even the free laptop cooler that came with it just barely able to hold it.

So currently my setup is like that and with another fan next to me for cooling when I use my laptop on the bed. 

The big limitation of the cooler is that the USB Connection is powered up to only 9 volts, and isn't  really optimized like that for cooling, not at that stage. So Dad stepped into the challenge and we're actually going to DIY our own Laptop Cooling table that will draw Full power off the wall.

Fortunately, my old 2005 now-dead rig is still lying around in front of my new rig, where the old one used to be. So we're gonna salvage the 450W power supply which from the outside still looks new. We'll rip out 2 case fans at the back of the chassis. We are gonna add more fans to that and we're gonna make a flat meshed platform that's going to be the mount for my laptop. We are targeting to whack 6 fans (we're gonna add more) Underneath the surface will be the fans and we'll use the power supply to draw power from the 12 volt rails.

As soon as we're done we're gonna test this bad boy and compare the difference.
