Clean Out Your Computer Day: When was the last time you cleaned out your fans and dusted off your motherboard? Have you looked at your graphics card to see if its cooling fan and fins are clean? For that matter, when did you last clean out or even opened the case? Or have you ever cleaned out your computer or had someone clean it out for you?

The last time I cracked open a computer was to put a newer, beefier battery in my laptop sometime last summer. For the desktop computer, it would be... three or four years, maybe? The CPU fan was running rough, but getting the dust out of it sorted it out.

The desktop (actually, under-desk) computer has a window in the side of the case so we can see the condition of its innards. It's still looking good right now.
