I can speak from personal experience that if you ever had a HDD head crash, throwing it in the freezer for a few hours will give you extra time to access your data before it dies again.

I'm glad you were able to backup your data!

That sounds familiar! A very good suggestion.

This is one of the better all around tips. This also applies to laptops, though it can include removing the bottom plate to clean out the dust. You can see up to a 40% increase (more of a return to original) in speed with this tip.

When taking screen shots, hold down the ALT key to get only the program in the forefront rather than your entire screen array.

Seriously this is the best suggestion I can give, Linux. Started using linux several years ago and haven't looked back. No nasty's, consistently fast and now days not so steep a learning curve.

I like pclinux for every day use About PCLinuxOS PCLinuxOS

Want to see who is trying to mess with your computer through the internet? Set up wireshark and watch as people try to hack in. Log their IP addresses and then do as you please. Check out the scapy module for python for easy ways to hit them back.
