    Everyone should always peek inside and check the fans.... heat will ruin your computer.

    depends... if it was just sitting an hour... if you had it doing anything much sooner...

    I was told "we vacuum it out regularly" but once I saw.. "Shutdown because of cpu something or other..." I knew what was going on....

    I have a CD somewhere of a lot more photo's of filthy computers... I'm gonna have to find it and put them up....

    I'm guilty of not cleaning the inside of my tower, I figure my IS will be obsolete before the dust and fans burn it out.... Now what about laptops ?

    I don't reset them. I occasionally re-seat them instead.

    I use the basic stuff. I never noticed a difference with any of the compounds even when over clocking processors.

    I clean mine about once a month, using a simple can of compressed air and a soft cloth to wipe off the larger fans' blades.
    Even then it's shocking how much dust there is
