I have a question for you guys: How often do you clean the inside of your computer? By the way, some people commented on my comments, it's because I'm still new with this and I have bad English. So please excuse me for it!

I clean them out about twice a year...or when the fan stops turning...lol. No really twice a year, usually I clean them, the cloths drier, and all the air purifiers, and furnace filters at the same time, makes it easy to remember.

i tend to clean it once a month as this makes the task easier as dust has less time to build up

It depends on the amount of fans & dust. I check mine every few months or so. I only have short-pile carpet in about 1/3 of the house. There's little dust from that vs. shag carpet, etc...If you have shedding animals, that loose fur will all get sucked into the tower, as well. If you find you do have a problem with a lot of dust- you can stretch a cut-to-fit piece of ladie's stockings across the intake vents. They work very well.

The dust around here can be a bit annoying so I make sure to dust out my computer once a month or so.

When ever I get the chance but I can't be bothered to take the cpu heat sink off and clean it.

1-2 times a month, and the dust filters are cleaned every 3-4 days since they are easy to get to and when ever a vacuum my room, I clean them.

Not that often. I recommend using an Air Compressor though, it will clean your computer out in seconds!
