I like the look of this.  What do you think?

Does the TR really need a cooler?

Mine doesnt…in class its freezing…I put my hands on the TR hoping for some heat, yet none comes out.

I don’t normally worry about it except when the TR is on the couch, bed or other flexible surface—it heats up quickly.

My first solution was a plastic kitchen cutting board. Worked well, stable and non-slip.

I got the Cool-Lift from Handstands and sort of like it for the tilt it gives the keyboard. It is clearly best used on a desktop.

I recently picked up an Antec unit when Buy.com had it mispriced at $24. Haven’t had occasion to try it yet. I will most likely end up using this on my desk simply because I have it and the fans can’t do anything but help.

As for my couch-potato pad, I think I’ll pick up some stick-on feet from Radio Shack and put them on the cutting board to give the keyboard a little tilt.

BTW, there are a couple of long inclusive threads on coolers already here in the forum. I’m pretty sure this unit was mentioned.

Edit:

Here we go, review of the Antec cooler and lots of discussion on whether we need ‘em.

Then a buried link to the unit under discussion here:
