Towards the end of my laptops life (I haven't actually told it it's dead yet, it's resting in a corner), I couldn't go more than an hour of a render without it crashing. I had one of those thingies with 2 fans. Kept it going for an extra 5 minutes. In the end I butchered the fans out and stuck them straight onto the air intake. Last a few more hours like that. Hey, Drac, you said you have no hot water? Maybe you could rig up some heat exchanger on the laptop. You can render and then take a hot bath. Two for one.
