Sometimes you just gotta do whatever it takes to get the job done. And when all you have to work with is an old case fan, a food container lid, and some dryer duct.... these are the things that happen. Short-Media.com presents a crude-yet-effective mod for quieting and cooling your laptop.

    You've put the lap back in laptop, or at least it's now safe to put the laptop back in your lap. :p

    You know, on my business trip last week to Seattle, there I was in the airliner, thinking to myself, "Now I can run this bad boy without burns to the delicates". Then it dawned on me - no 120 volts A.C. currency anywhere near my coach class seat...

    Just kidding. I suppose the next project is to modify the hard drive bay. It gets so hot that the plastic door to the drive compartment gets hot to the touch. Sometimes I have to remove the door so the hard drive doesn't seize under intense usage. Hmm, wonder if the sysadmins would mind if I riddled with ventilation holes?
