We all know about dust, it covers everything we own. While most of us are pretty good about cleaning our furniture and appliances on a regular basis, we rarely clean our computers.
Heat is a major problem with all computers.
Heat is your enemy. Keeping the inside of your computer clean reduces the amount of heat and extends the life of your computer. The number one service issue we come across in our shop is the replacement of computer fans that are not spinning up to speed and which create an excessive amount of noise. How often a computer needs to be cleaned depends on the environment in which it lives. The hotter a component gets the shorter the life span it will have.
