I don't even bother doing anything except for the weekly virus scan and every now and again anti-malware scan and clean.

I can't seem to get the Defragger working anyways.

This is true. When I received the Zalman Fatality case, I thought there was a cat living in the box, there was so much hair! Not that I mind of course, I have a cat that sheds enough hair to make another cat!

I feel your pain. While stationed in southern California in the Mojave desert, I did nothing but fight a losing battle with the dust and dirt that managed to get into my rig.

Didn't see this thread till now, but I actually did clean out my PC yesterday! Cleaned out the P180's dust filters, took the sink of my x1800 GTO and blew in the end of it, HUGE wads of dust shot out of the fan...Took the fan of my Opteron's sink and cleaned the dust and applied some Arctic Ceramique. Core 1 load temps dropped 10*C, and Core 2 load temps dropped 5-7*C

I frequent LAN parties and clean up before each one...sometimes 2-3 months in between but still my cycle.

Yoshi from the Screen Savers uses pantyhose for filters.

Hell you can use just about anything for a filter. I have even used a kitchen vent charcoal filter once. If you are thinking WTF?! It was the color, black was what I needed and found that filter by chance.

I've done that before. Works quite well but you have to stretch it out a lot to keep air flowing through it, and it is a little tricky to try and mount sometimes (mount on the fan, get your heads out of the gutter!)...

I use Swifter Dust Mop sheets.

(Pardon me for saying so) I can't help chuckling at the fact that only one of those applies to non-Windows users.

To be honest, I've never done much filtering. I just blow on my hardware every now and then, though my NZXT case has a metal filter (can't compare to cloth filters though, hence the fact that I have to blow on my hardware).

I'd like to know which is better for your computer: Filtering out the dust or allowing better air flow by not using a filter.

I thought this was a post about unemployment checks. Get a job hippies.
J/k...I let all the hot air coming from my wife clean out my computer.
