    Clean my DSLR

    No way~ You would do that for me *touched* ^^ Also, I took off the viewfinder piece and used my rocket blower, and some of the dust / lint or whatever it is disappeared, but I still have other spots. I must sound like some anal perfectionist haha

    Clean my DSLR

    I agree that recommendations for this sort of thing is best and $30 is cheap, I'd even dish out more for a full clean. Like you said I don't trust myself with that type of job. Any pro's you want to recommend? ^^

    Wow, I love you guys :] The reason I picked the Cooler Master case is because I currently have 4x500GB hard drives that I would like to put in... but after reading your posts it looks like 2AM jitters got to me. Let's see what I can change here. Also I was looking into the Abit IP35-E...
