Was still running near 60C and after a few hrs, the keyboard was getting hot so I got the Lantec Lapcool 3 for $20 after tax and shipping (got it in 25hrs or so) and with the laptop fan on high & the cooler, it seems to have dropped all temperatues - CPU, GPU, Memory, Chipset, & HD by 8-12C on each component!!
The keyboard barely has a hint of heat, and the lapcool is quieter than the laptop's fan on high. Now the only reason to shut the laptop when Im not going anywhere would be power, which is quite small compared to the desktop machine :)
