Ok i have a 15,4 inch vostro 1500, im hoping that i got 8600 that wasn't faulty due to me buying it a year ago, now you cannot even get the 8600 on the vostro 1500 from my viewin, but i dunno whether or not to just keep the fan on high at all times and get a good laptop cooler or to get extended warranty which will be quite expensive, i was wondering i anyway could point me in the direction of a really good laptop cooler?

Personally I like this company... especially the laptop legs/Macfeet

Cheap, help with ergonomics and allow proper space for your fans to work correctly.
They also have some nice other items, but I have never tried them out so I cannot speak for them.
Hope this helps

I built my own when I still had my G1S, loosely following these directions: http://www.robertreznik.com/DIY/Laptop CoolerV01.htm
I used two of the lowest dB Scythe fans and a 12v, 1000mA radio shack power supply (wired in parallel with a switch). I also used some 1/4in plexi that I had lying around, but that detail is moot. Wood would be easier to work with as well.
Temps dropped 20*c on the hard drive and GPU for me, as well as making the keyboard noticably less steamy.
