Or it'll end up caked up to the eyeballs in dust like the heatsink in the attatched pic....  EDIT: I measured it too, it's about 5mm thick... | ||

Also, the Hard Drive, Motherboard, & optical drive were dead, so that's an expense for someone before christmas.... I have to put the new stuff in tomorrow though, so I can give what's left a thorough clean...  | |||

My System: 1200cc with 100,000,000,000 neurons and 100,000,000,000,000 connections | A used sheet of bounce (the stuff that people put in their driers) over the intake fans works as an effective fan filter, it also makes the PC smell nice | ||

My System: Dreambox 7000, Skystar2 | Bounce - now that's a bloomin' good idea. I always vacuum my computers out every six months. It's the only action my hoover sees... | ||

| Putting the PC on the carpet, or near ground level is a recipe for disaster. Some of the desktops I have repaired / upgraded in the past three months should really have some toxic warning on them. Dell units from the late 90's usually blow the dust out through the front, clogging up the A drive and cd readers | ||
