Default How often do you?

How often do you tear down your PC and clean out the dust?

The Media Center in my room was sitting on the carpet, so i decided to pull a shelf over for it to sit on instead.

When i tore it down, the front air intake was 75% full of dog hair and dust, the fan screens were likewise. And the processor heat sink was 90% covered.

Hopefully keeping if a couple foot off the floor will keep it cleaner longer.
