Now if you can cool it just enough to keep voltage going through the core you'll have yourself a nice little picture (and an expensive key tag). Many of the Dell Inspiron series laptops are liquid cooled which explains the internal turbine. Without cooling that liquid, you're better off not having it.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I'll be the first to admit being more than a little cynical at times. But I cannot help wondering if the scientist was doing some weird kinky experimentation that backfired and that the laptop story is just a cover to hide his embarrasment. Hehe, I guess it couldn't help with the story getting out to CNN!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Propping it up makes them warm instead of hot. Not that it matters now anyway ... the battery is shot and the monitor hinges are broken, so I have to lean it against something to hold it up.  |  IP: Logged
