    yup...there should be many vents near your setup...just 'hack' one and point the flow at your lcd...

    one odd thing, make sure the lcd is sealed to the front glass (bezel, whatever protects the screen if anything) or else the airflow will put dust between the lcd and the protective glass.

    cool alright... that's what i was thinking... just make sure it's over a vent or something... Meaning the panel might be a bit slow for a few minutes...

    Thanks
