Cleaning and Cooling

[cinohpa]

I'm going to be doing some upgrades on my computer soon and I hope that my cooling will be adequate for my new hardware. I also want to give everything a good clean. Are there any basic suggestions you can give for little things that can be done to tweak cooling/make sure everything that really needs to be clean is?

Thanks!

a 1/2 and 1 inch soft paintbrush and several cans of compressed air.

Take it outside and blow it off, remove the fans and clean the blades etc. using the paintbrushes. etc. etc. get the dust out, of everywhere. Wipe down the inside of the case with damp paper towels etc. I also take this opportunity to remove any dead animials that might have wandered into the machine. You dont really need any tips, just clean the hello out of everything you are going to reuse as best you can using common sense.
