Just for quick reference, I’m posting a few photos I’ve snapped with my phone of what your computer should not look like inside.
Why is this on Muddy Geek? All that dust and dirt is causing heat to build up, especially on your processor. Without proper ventilation and heat dispersal, your computer will continue to heat up and become prone to crashing. A simple can of air and some careful vacuuming work will take care of it. And don’t forget, the harder your computer works, the more power you waste. Oh wait, don’t forget to recycle the air can when you’re done too. Gotta be green.

Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Corniced.
The point was that its good for your computer and ultimately the environment to clean it out.
Reminds me of my old desktop. Going back 6-7 years, I had (well, still have, somewhere) an old AMD K6. Although it was running fine my partner and I decided to take it apart and give it a once over. The levels of dust were incredible. You can see for yourself:
