<<f your $5.00 mechanical fan fails, your whole cpu goes up in a poof of smoke!>> Is that the same fan I see on the back and sides of the laptop? Some laptops seem to have two fans that are visible from the outside. If you mean to say there is a CPU fan that sits on top of it, does that mean there are up to THREE fans in a Wintel laptop drawing energy?! The external fans do not appear to be the low wattage variety. Again, I've seen peripheral devices like portable hard drives that fail after a year of use because the fan got gunked up and the unit overheated. I can only imagine a laptop going the same route. -Bill_H
