Laptop Stand

Laptop Stand
I like to push my laptop to the limits with games and other applications, often leading to it overheating or slowing significantly due to poor circulation.  For a while I had my laptop sitting on bottle caps with my desktop fan blowing across it, but frankly, that was just too much work.  After viewing a couple of other people's solutions to this problem on instructables, I turned to what supplies I had available and came up with this design.  

The body of the stand is a sawed off portion of a 3-tier file holder with cabinet liners to provide the grip.  All of these supplies I found around my home but the estimated cost for this project is around $10 taking a total time of around 1-2 hours depending on how meticulous you are.
