Clean Your Fan Filters - Friendly Reminder

[techfuzz]

Last night I pulled out the front fan filter on my case and cleaned off all the dust and dirt, which turned out to be a pretty fair amount. Figured I'd remind everyone else who hasn't done that in a while. Kudos to those who do it on a regular basis! You're a better geek than I!

Yeah, especially now that you can finally OPEN A WINDOW! More crap to get sucked into the filter, but it sure feels nice to have fresh air!

I just pull out the filter and wipe it off every time I happen to open my case which is usually once every few weeks.

I hadn't open that particular case since last year. I got it working just the way I wanted it and let it go from there. I'm too poor to upgrade anything in it either.

Thanks for the reminder. Last night I noticed my harddrive temperatures were a bit high. The filter is full of dust..

Now that I've helped 1 person, I feel that my life is complete and this thread was worthwhile!

I've got a couple boxes on the floor due to limited desk space so dusting frequently is ritual habit perforce.
