The Power of Air
I never thought about it, but one of the best ways to speed up an old com is to clean it out. My 2 month old com's chasis is 5-6C cooling after blowing out all the dust bunnies, and some people have lowered their cpu temps by 10C+, and tripled their sys speed.

Filters? Do they restrict airflow much?
