looking for help on cooling Intel Core i5-450M

[boomplatinum]

i have a hp pavilion dm4-1160 that im using as a temporary desktop (gaming/music/videos/browsing) and i would like to cool it down. i had an idea that would use 2 fans paired to a single usb that would push air into a box and force the cool air through the top of the box where the laptop bottom vents sit and out through the exhaust vents exposed on the outside of the box. i also had a version that would use 4 desktop fans (1 on each side of the box instead of 2 on the back) connected to a desktop fan controller that would be connected to a 200 watt psu but i do not know how i would turn the psu on and im trying to work only with things i already have. right now i have a modded laptop cooler that has a big fan in the middle and i modded 2 usb fans (1 to left/right of big fan) with hot glue gun and cut holes into the metal mesh where the fans are (i noticed mesh, circle holes and cool swirly designs restrict air flow of the fans...) any ideas on different things i can make or do to my current design would help greatly.

Open it up and clean up the dust would help alot. Are you having heat problems? why do you need to cool it

You could probably purchase a cheap laptop cooler at best buy or something that is the exact same thing as yours.

And I would recommend buying a can of compressed air and trying to clean it, here is a video on how to:
