[CUBE] The fax in a cube?

When I had my Cube open I thought about pulling out the airport card holder, antennae, modem, and DVD drive "shield", and putting them in a baggie.  I didn't do it; but I think anything that increases air space inside the hot box is an improvement, albeit slight.

I actually think the worst problem is the side oven where the video card lives.
