Der.... me heatercore keeps getting globs of dust in its fins. I think its cuz me delta fan is a lil too strong :D

How does 5F over ambient seem? I remeber it being 0.5F above ambient at one time, but it migh have been cuz the puter was off and had just been turned on

Can of compressed air works wonders on that.

Better yet!

Head over to your local Kmart or Wally world and look thru thier air conditioning isle. What you want is one of thier thin foem like air filters.

1. They are cheap.
2. They can be cut to size.
3. They do not restrict the flow enough to see it.
4. Breathing all that Dust cannot be good for you.
5. No down time to clean filter.
