			I hadnt cleaned my computer in 3 months. I opened it up outside and was greeted with a load of dust. I took out the leaf blower and it just took everything off in 10 sec. Everything works fine now. Its just like a big can of compressed air. You guys should try it. I made sure to start far away then move slowly in but not too close.

			I just use a vacuum, making sure everything's grounded properly, to avoid any static discharges.

			yeah no joke, the cheapest ones I've seen down here were around 3 a piece; thus if you're good at modding, or have a decent case with this already, I suggest putting a filter in the front of the case.  It does help some, and it's a lot better than dishing out dough for nothing.
