Looking for an External GPU worth buying to help power my Crappppppppy Dell Inspiron n5010 that is dying due to poor quality and overheating issues on purchase.

I have been having troubles with the GPU more than anything ... used a wrist strap / drained the battery / cleaned out the dust (alot of dust) to find dell switches spacing between the single heatsink spaces on each end ... as well as different spacings in between components and heat sink.

GPU is a wide gap
CPU is flush
and some chips are in between those two spacings...

IMHO

Dell really wants your laptop to break or overheat during the simple process of re-seating the CPU with new compound, or even a simple air dust (since you kinda have to take the fan apart to fully clean solid buildup from the inside of the fins on the heatsink.)

Don't read this wrong thinking I did something to this machine either.. I had a not responding issue every .. 30 min or so before i even started to think I need to take this dang thing apart to do ANY kind of work on it.

Might post error msgs or mem dumps later in dif area ... but for now just wondering on the external GPU options if there are any... I am hoping to god someone has been smart enough to make an external GPU at a decent price that's above a rad hd 5400 series.


Thanks~
