I keep thinking I oughta do that one of these days,  too.  In particular,  
there's a rather obvious spot on the wall behind this tower case where the 
draft from the power supply fan hits...

What are you doing with all of that stuff?  I have just the one system 
running in this room,  and was hoping to notice some of that effect as the

seen much benefit from it.  Of course,  it feels hotter in here in the 
summertime...
