in a nightclub environment

[dj madmyk]

I dj in nightclubs 2 to 3 days a week with my macbook so there is one issue that concerns me....
I know overheating can be bad for me as i don't want my lappy to crash on me in the middle of my set, so would a cooling fan be a bad idea? A dj friend of mine said yes it would be due to the hot and steamy environment of a packed nightclub and blowing moisture thru my mac could be harmful. Is this possible?

your mac should be just fine. a cooling fan wont hurt, but wont neccessarily save it either.

id just sport the MB, and call it a night

Nice to see a DJ on the forums [: I went to Pacha NYC on Friday night and Ferry Corsten's set was amazing! Danced from 12 to 6 AM.

Thank you kgeier82 I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best. Good thing I still carry a crate of records with me to every gig.

off topic but what program are you using to dj on your macbook?

you can also use something like the iLap...that cools the laptop with aluminum and elevation...no fans or anything
