Get Some Canned Air and Blow Out That Computer
Many times when a client brings a computer over, they haven't dusted it out since they bought it. Why not? They have no idea they should. It's not in the manual, but it should be!
Depending on how much you use your computer, you should use some canned air (or a compressor on a low setting) to blow out the dust inside a computer at least 4 times a year. Just unplug the power cord from the computer and remove the cover. Look for dust inside the case, especially around the fans, and gently blow it out until no more dust is visible.
Don't forget the power supply. That's where the power cord plugs into the computer, and it is usually where the most dust collects. I frequently have to replace power supplies simply because they are covered in dust and overheat or short out. It's usually a good idea to do this outside!
At 83318.com, we generally dust out a computer when we perform any service on it. So, if you're not sure how to get the case open, or exactly what to do, bring it by for a spring cleaning! Watch OfficeMax for canned air. Many times they'll have a rebate special, or a sale on their canned air, and that's when I stock up!
