Just pull the side cover and blow it out with an air compressor, once a year or so. Dust build up and also dampen the heat transfer rate (cooling effect) on all sorts of parts. So cleaning out the dust allows things to run cool, keeps moving parts clean and will extend the life of your hardware. This is particularly acute with the sort of fine dust that builds up inside of computers.... Blowing compressed air on fans make them often "over speed" so be mindful to only blow on the fans in short bursts. Clean the fans in the power supply likewise. hth, James
