Laptop Cooling Mod = :)

So my laptop was overheating big time when i would use it for much. For example, i was installing microsoft updates, and it topped out at 172 degrees F. Also, when i woudl watch dvds (what the dvd-rom drive is for!) it made it up to about 170 or a little less.

So, I made a mod! Its not totally done yet, i have to seal it up a bit and it'll probably work a little better, but i know can watch a dvd at about 125 degrees F. I can't wait to try this out on games...that'll come later.

BTW, its a ProStar 2253 from the year 2001. PIII 1ghz, 320mb of sdram, 20gig hd. Got it for $200, but will have to replace the keyboard, which is at the most $50.

v HERE IT IS v




Tell me what you think about it, and ask any questions you might have.

A less focused pic would be better. Like of the entire laptop.
