    Just cleaned....

    ...... All the dust/crap out of my PC case for the first time in three years of using it

    I don't know anything about PC's, but it can't be good for them when all the heatsinks etc are clogged full of solid dust

    anyways, I can now hear myself think over the sound of my PC running, and it seems to not be getting as stoopidly hot.

    Just thought I'd share that

    if blew dust off it or wiped it oooooor brushed it dont do it again, quite a high possabliy of killing your pc through static electricity (i took electronic engineering at college)

    I had some old airbsursh propellent lying around (compressed air, didn't really work) and blew the rest, did however wear an antistatic wriststrap throughout, hopefully that means it won't die

    if you don't do this, and they do become clogged they will eventualy shut down when a maximum working temperature is achieved. Keep it clean.
