Best Answer

1.) If you set your hard drive(s) to turn off after 3 min. this will both save power AND make your hard drive last longer.

2.) Put the actual computer (not the CRT/monitor) in a well ventilated area. Try to avoid cabinets and mostly enclosed shelves.

3.) if you are desperate, you can also dim the screen, but this won't help much.
