If a person is going to like firm strokes over the bumps and stuff. Then maybe they shouldn't be going inside to clean them - as they obviously have no idea what they are doing.	wainuitech (129)

I use canned air and a dedicated head for my electric toothbrush (not on, just that it's smaller so gets in between the fan blades easier). I keep the vacuum around to pick up all the dust bunnies afterwards. A quick burst over the motherboard and other components is enough to get rid of the rest, I find. I try to do it every few months. Mostly when I get bored and am stuck in whatever game I'm playing or have some work to put off. It's cleanest when I should be busy with other things.	Thebananamonkey (7741)
