Get a zalman notebook cooler, sit below ur ac, place a fan on the side of the table blowing ur laptop from the side, if ur on a wooden desk put something under ur laptop (book) to lift it up so heat will dissipate evenly? These are just a few simple guides on cooling ur laptop.

The notebook coolers work, u gotta place the back of ur macbook below the fan. Just some adjustments on the placement of ur mb on the cooler.

would not recommend usb fans as they are not powerful enough, + u don have much usb ports on ur mb, unless u invest on a usb hub.

A standing fan and a notebook cooler is a good combination.

gven : Haha yeah I posted the pictures on head-fi as well, those are actually the sponge cushion that came in the box. I cut it in half and place it on an angle. I couldn't justify paying the $35 stands.

Lag as in input lag? SSD has no relation with your gpu performance.

I'm running my Senn HD650 - Schiit asgard amp - xonar essence stx sound card. Other 5.1 speakers go to my sound card via toslink and the audio engine a2 speakers through the sound card as well with 6.5mm sound jack.

Depends on what you want I guess, speakers or headphones?
