Spring cleaning. I pulled the cover and vacuumed it all out. The heat sink fins and the fan were a mess. Hopefully this extends the life of this pig but anything else I should look for? I also replaced the clock battery as the damn thing was always way slow.

I do the same thing. Works OK, but I should take a couple hour to take it appart then air spray the motherboard/video card and all that crap then put it back. Lots of dust get sucked into the powersupply, behind the motherboard, inside cd/dvd driveOriginally posted by shuki
But i'm too lazy to do it now

LOL, you dont know what u might suck up, using a vaccum
I would go with a high pressure air gun, not too high pressure, just enough to blow all the crap out
