Funky Futura stands to keep your computer cool

It's always important to keep your laptop from overheating. Personally, a breakdown is probably about the worse thing I could imagine happening to my baby. True, it could be rebooted, but worst case scenario, it turns into a melted mess of wires and circuit boards and has me tearing my clothes and pulling my hair out inconsolably.

Well, that would be why most computers nowadays come with built in coolers, but why should you settle for the fan being a boring black or white when you have a kaleidoscope of colours to choose from?

Each Futura fan and stand is custom made from one of eight colour choices, and is printed with UV cured ink to keep it looking pristine. They've promised us the possibility of custom printing in months to come, but for now you can enjoy this stylish selection at home or on the move, as the Futura stand folds up for easy portability.


It's made out of heat-conducting plastic and has a number of ventilation slots to allow air to pass out of the laptop area, to keep it cool. It rests on rubber pads to give your lap and the base of the laptop room to breathe and also prevents your laptop from overheating. For everyone who has ever struggled balancing your laptop on your knees this will be a godsend, and it's not to bad to look at either.

Like that? See more computer goodness here.

That looks great - certainly better than my lever-arch file balanced on a box file and stuffed with paper to give the correct typing angle.

Only.... they don't ship outside the US. Pah

Is my laptop going to blow up if I don't have any kind of fan, stand or combination of the two? Coolers are expensive and simple stands seem to be hiding.

I've got mine chocked up on two Loeb editions (Apuleius volumes 1 & 2 ...)
