I think it’s genius! I’m on it, Dad! Where are those bendy straws……

Lauren could construct a small radiator, coolant lines and a thermostatically controlled fan. Would it be a way to keep dust from accumulating so quickly in the unit? Worth a try?

Is there anything the two of you CAN'T do? You should have your own TV show on The Discovery Channel. That third picture made me a little sick to my stomach!

Wow, overclocked to 3.4GHz. I would overclock my computer, but I am afraid that I couldn't keep it cool enough since it is a laptop. Some day I will build my own computer, really it is the best way to go. I just need to get over this laptop kick. Plus I haven't given up on my old windows 98 desktop. Still use it for old games.

Generally, when we're having fan issues, Leo takes the vacuum or blower to it. I just cry... Lauren's inventions are ingenious!

I do a little over-clocking (running the CPU faster than the specified speed) and to provide some extra cooling (because that makes the CPU hotter and hotter is bad) I have a little duct work to pipe the air conditioning right into the case. It was piped into the side of the case at the bottom, but now the bottom is 5 inches higher. Lauren made a little cardboard extension to send the air up and over. No, the fan came there.

The cost has very little to do with the size anymore. an 80GB drive was $35 so tripling the size for only palindroming the price seemed reasonable.
