All good points/observations gentlemen

I could light a load of joss sticks and stuff them in front of the case, at least I'd see the smoke being sucked in and exhausted if air flow is correct, and it would smell a lot nicer and probably would not leave any residue

I also have a mate who used to work in a factory making air and oil filters so I can ask him to get some filter material for me. In fact he went down there the other week to get some filter material for the 25cm fan on the side of his Kandalf case, yes I did say 25cm! It's bloody huge, but it blows into the case and so he's put the filter on the inside to stop the dust getting sucked in!

He's also got an external water cooler he no longer uses, a Thermaltake Aquarius III, but not sure if it will fit an AM2 socket but should I even consider it?

I also forget to mention the duct is no longer being used, thought it better to see if regreasing the CPU and getting better air flow would do more good! I'll see after a few hours of the system being on and a blast (literally) in GTA: San Andreas and some other games!
