Okay, so my 3 year old computer fans are finally starting to show their age and can't keep my computer cool during this warm weather which causes the computer to crash, so i was wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap fan/coolant system that would do the job.
Thanks.

hmm i dont know...maybe ask in the stores.
I don't know about the internal fans, but I purchased a Targus cool-desk for my laptop, and it really has helped out. It looks like a hot plate but has two fans and cooling fins.
Very nice.

It all depends on your tolerance for noise. I have 5 case fans and am fine with it, but some people want only a couple. Also how many 80mm fan hardpoints does your computer have? Does it have any 120mm hardpoints? Is it only case fans?

This forum would be a good place to look if your wanting a cheap cooling system. Im sure there is something there that could work for you.

I'm afraid your all too late, as my computer finally packed in on Sunday due to the heat. The computer over-heated, and the hard drive has had a complete failure. Everything on that computer has been lost forever, including backups. Two whole years worth of crap that i collected off the internet is gone. Gone forever!! All of my saved games as well!! And all of the modding i had done to RTW to make it perfect!! Lost!! Now it will only live on in my head....
