    Get a usb powered fan for it. You could get 2-in-1 packages off ebay and they have the kind you can keep on a desk, or place on your lap so that you can play on the couch or bed.

    Edit: You can also get the kind u insert into a PCMCIA slot that are USB powered that help dissipate air from the inside, but I haven't tried one of those yet.

    I found a really good review on like 6 of these laptop fan things. I'll see if I can find it for you if you're interested. I'll look into ordering one today.

    The PCMCIA thing sounds promising too. The PCMCIA slot is actually right next to the video card lol.

    e-Bay sellers have them for around for 6-7 bucks including shipping! I have the lap kind, but it's somewhat inadequate, the fans stop working sometimes and it can get noisy after a long enough time, despite them advertising the quietness. The PCMCIA one is much more travel friendly and cheaper, and probably more energy efficient. The lap kind have 3 fans . The PCMCIA kind must be new because if I had seen it before, I would have bought it asap.

    I guess the only downside to the PCMCIA slot occupied is if you only have one slot for a wireless card, then you gotta use ethernet/dialup if you don't have a built-in wireless card. Q_Q Luckily, I have one built in and have yet to touch that slot.
