    Hey guys, I'm looking for the best cooler for my 17" beast. Most coolers don't fit it, and I cant seem to find one in stores that do. Brick and mortar doesn't cater well to 17" users :(

    I suggest that you check out some of the Lian-Li 17" notebook coolers, they are made from aluminum and work very well from what I hear. They are also stylish to match your notebook and come in black or silver.

    Here are some links:

    From the site:

    "The Lian-Li NC-01 17" NoteBook Cooler Pad is another elegant aluminum product from the respected case manufacturer Lian-Li. Designed to fit 17" wide notebooks, the NC-01 features a useful document gripper, adjustable fans (so the cooler can cool the hottest parts of your notebook), an integrated wrist support and an adjustable body. "

    Those look awesome. Thanks for the links. The only thing I'm worried about with those is the aluminum lip scratching my laptop? Anyone have any experience with this? Or am I just being a baby?

    The edges are rounded a bit to prevent scratching, I wouldn't be worried anyways.

    I'd go for the Cooler Master Notepal, because its quiet and effective. Also, I've never hear of Lian Li notebook coolers before. Besides, the Notepal is cheaper.

    I was looking for a cooler for my E1705. I went with the ilap from rain design. It doesn't have any fans though. I was going to get the Lian Li but the ilap had a larger platform. My laptop does run slightly cooler though. I am satisfied with the quality and design. I will never take the laptop off of my desk so I took the front pad off the ilap. I highly recommend the ilap. It is the most expensive of all at over $80 out the door.

    I do not think I got ripped off. I wouldn't have gotten it if I thought it was a rip off. I've seen pretty much everything out there for a 17" laptop.

    I was more interested in raising the notebook to a better viewing angle and my number one concern was the stand platform was large enough. This is the largest laptop platform for the 17" notebook available. I didn't want to purchase one of the others and decide it didn't like it. I am satisfied with the iLap and am glad I bought it.

    This next analagy is a little off topic but you will see how I think. Years ago I bought my first computer chair and it wasn't very comfortable. In a year or so I got a new one for almost $200. It was better but after several hours it was so uncomfortable I couldn't stand it. I didn't want to keep on doing this so I bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It was about $850 delivered and I've had it for about 7 years now. It is the most comfortable computer chair I ever sat in. I would buy the same chair again. I don't mind paying for something when I know it's the best possible product for my needs.

    So rather than buying a notebook cooler I was a little skeptical on I decided to go with the iLap as I new it was the best choice for me. For other people it may not be and that is fine.
