I always keep the outside of my PC pretty clean - using the vacuum around the vents each each week to remove the dust.
The back is a wiring nightmare, and it usually gets no attention at all.
So when the power went out a couple of weeks ago, I decided to unplug the whole system and give it a good cleaning.
I was really astonished to see the condition of this poor CPU.
The outlet fan in the back had a very thick coating of dust - it was almost hidden.
All of the connection ports were full as well.
After that was cleaned up, I opened the the case to see the innards.
It was unbelievable - there was dust everywhere.
It had been about a year since I had taken it completely apart like this.
I thought I was getting a lot of it before it entered the unit by vacuuming the outside each week.
Guess I will be taking it apart more often.
It wasn't giving me any problems, why, I don't know.
If I was in that condition, I would be making sure everybody knew!
