We really count on our systems here to earn a living. We take them
apart often, before they shut down. My SO's desktop is actually harder
than mine to clean as she is also a smoker. We also back up and
format, reload software on a regular basis, just as a precaution. Most
of our computers are dedicated to specific types of software/function
so only the play boxes get bogged down really, like this one.

You guys motivated me to take this laptop apart and clean it.
It's a three year old HP Pavilion zd8000 that has performed flawlessly
since I got it.
Anyway, I shut it down, carefully turned it upside down and removed all
the accessible screws. No way would it come apart. After several
attempts, the "leave well enough alone" buzzer went off in my head. I
removed a couple of covers (the ram bay and the harddrive bay), hooked up
a little computer vacuum gizmo that came with a hand-held Oreck vacuum
cleaner and carefully vacuumed whatever dust I could get to with the
little brush.
Put the screws back in and decided to forget about it.
