Well, I thought that the LP was a good start. Also, using a little less 
power won't hurt, although it's probably a drop in the ocean next to the 
CPU and the graphics card. Still, every little helps, as Tesco say.

The main issue in our house is heat in summer, and dust. It's only 
fairly recently that the maid starting using the vacuum cleaner on the 
carpet in our living room (don't ask) and my computer has a *lot* of 
dust inside it.

Finally, the case fans are stuck to the case, and I cannot really put 
them inside some sort of soft padding; at least, with one of them I 
didn't manage. That doesn't help either. The drives are mounted with 
rubber mountings, so that they don't vibrate the case. But as mentioned, 
they are a minor concern.
