My laptop gets extremely hot whenever it's on, and if I do something like listen to a CD (MP3's don't trigger it) or play a game, an extremely loud fan starts up, and it's extremely annoying.
Also, the base gets extremely hot (even without the loud fan), too hot to touch for more then a second, which pretty much puts using it on my lap out of the question.
Any cheap or free ideas on making it cooler*? 
*While a solution such as "throw it in the pool" might work, I'm not willing to try this, or anything like this, so please don't suggest it.
