This comes from the Tower Talk Email Reflector. I haven't tried this myself,
but it should work!
Note that they run on 5V, as they all seem to attach to a computer via a USB
port.
Good Luck!

To: <towertalk@contesting.com>
If you ever wanted to cool down a piece of equipment read this....!!!
They now make a device called a "LapTop Cooler" .... This is a very flat plate
around 1 inch thick,
with 2-3 very silent low speed fans... it pulls air through your equipment into
the fan, then exits the
air out a open slot in the rear of the plate.
I stuck one under my 781.. and BOOM... whereas the top was always warm to the
touch. Now it's cool...
Amazing.....
I always graph'd the exit temp of the Sherwood fan... and now that temp is down
15 degrees on idle heat...
I have a couple of 30 amp DC supplies that always run warm... the LT cooler has
taken care of that...
Now the cases are cool...
So If you have a piece of equipment that you want cooled, look at at LapTop
Cooler...
Note: it runs on 5 Volts DC.
Here's a URL if you want to look, but shop if your interested, because there
are 50 different styles etc.
Pick one that suites your need the best.
