OK, when I bought this used laptop (Dell Inspiron 600m), it came with a free notebook cooler, the one in the title. Heres a pic of it:

OK, im trying to find a way to make this cool the bottom of my laptop better. At times, when im playing WoW, the bottom gets really hot.
And I read some reviews of this coolerit says that it is not the best cooler in the world to get. But since i got it for free, I thought that I would use it anyways.
So, what im wanting to know is there any mods that can be done to this cooler? I was thinking about puting some better fans in there, but the thing only runs at .9w (hence why they made the thing work with usb ports.
The speeds of both fans are 1500rpms, which I know is really low. The demensions of the cooler is 300x230x13.8mm. And because of that, I couldnt find a thin enough fan to replace the ones that are currently in it. Plus, theres no telling that they will work because the power use is so low, it might not be able to power a faster fan.
So, again, does anyone see any mods that might be able to be done to this cooler?
P.S. I was going to post in the mods or Colling forums, but I didnt know if suggestions were suppose to be posted, there, so... IF they can, a mod can move this post to one of those sections so that i can get more help.
