Cleaned The Inside Of My PC 03.04.09

Lately, my computer has had a really bad case of humming loudly and nonstop.  Loud enough that to listen to music you have to turn the volume up over the sound of the fan.  Loud enough that if I don’t shut it down before I go to bed, I can lay in my room and hear it hum.

This afternoon I took the time to open it up and clean it out w/ a can of compressed air.  I was very surprised at how the dust had caked up so bad on the backside of the computer.  Not to mention how bad the inside had looked.

These pictures show exactly why it was so loud and why the fan ran constantly.  I guess I could be ashamed to show how bad it was, but maybe it’ll help remind someone to clean out the dust bunnies.

Needless to say, it’s as quiet as a mouse right now.
