My only beef right now is that I don't have the laptop screen close enough so I can easily see it while I am riding (I had it sitting on a cardboard box sitting next to my front tire - probably 4-5 feet away). Although I would note that if I brought my regular PC up to where the rest of the stuff is, that the graphics are going to be a bit better, but I would still need to figure out a way to get a computer monitor up fairly close to my face.

I did pick up a small 10$ fan from Target (thrift store didn't have any), and it felt good to have that thing blowing on me while I was riding.
