I don't know whats the different between perspex and acrylic. and the guy who sell me the transparent stuff said it wasn't acrylic. and acrylic is more expensive.

So, this is my cooling pad, and this is the 1st time I DIY stuff for my computer.

Materials used:
12" x 14" transparent perspex RM 22 ( including making the hole by the guy who sell me
Fan RM 0 (from broken PSU)

Currently, I am using the power from 12V dry battery. tongue.gif

My laptop is now cooler than before. biggrin.gif

Sure, why not? Use the adapter which the output voltage is 12V. Just modify the the head of the adapter. biggrin.gif

Can, but the speed of the fan is not as fast as 12V. make sure you connect the correct side of the positive and the negative. If not, your fan will not spin (but it will not spoil the fan)
