replaced dvd rom
re-installed cpu (rice sized thermal paste)
dust service
discarded crashed sata 1tb that was totally messing things up :/
running 22 degrees Celsius cooler than it has in over two years
I think thermal paste was a bit thick and ill distributed.

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
