How often do you clean your PC's internals?

[icheb]

Hello forumers,

For those who DIY their PCs, Im just curious: How often do you the components inside and how do you clean it? do you have a routine or technique to clean?

Please share, as I would like to know whats the most effective way to periodically clean your PC, removing dust that would accumulate over time.

no need to clean for at least a couple of years (even for a computer that is left on 24/7), if you do the dust filters and positive casing air pressure right.

Once every 6 months. Or when i change parts. Or when i just got the "feel" to open up and clean. Or when i am not lazy.

No fixed schedule.

Song + got form = clean
Buey song + lazy = re-schedule to a later undefined time.
