Clean your hardware:

Just finished my Quarterly Cleaning of my computer, and..
1) Found a small dead spider in my MSI 6800Nu Heatsink.
2) Reduced The idle temp of my Vid card from 50 Degrees Celsius, to 43 degrees celsius.

Moral: Dust can kill. :)
 
Wow. Yeah, it's amazing the things you can find in your computer sometimes. I just recently cleaned out my computer too (have to do it every 2 months with my case though). My CPU temp was getting crazy, like 59 full load, but now it's fine back at 46 full load. :eek:
 
i am gonna leave a compouter non cleaned for 2 years, gonna see how much dust, now whare is the best place to let dust in a computer
 
i found a moth in mine once... hmmm... I'd like to die inside my computer... :rolleyes:
I' guess I need to get a bigger case!! :D
 
Usually you will attract more particles by having your computer near the floor/carpet and near entryways.

Easiest way to clean your computer is to use light filters on all intakes makes cleaning easier of course.

I have seen spiders and ants mainly inside cases through my years not much else hehe.
 
I find that taking the PC outside and giving it a good hosing down eliminates dust.
 
Wow. Well, call me crazy, but I've never found an animal in my computer. Even this one computer I didn't open for a good 2 years.
 
ive only found spider webs in my computer....and its good there wasnt a spider in there otherwise i would broken my computer...i hate spiders :p

yeh cleaning your case does help it dropped my graphics card load from 80 degrees to 62 :p
