Is that what I am hearing when my computer is running? And am I supposed to clean it too?  :orly:

I open mine up and blow it out from time to time, amazing how much dust they can suck up.

Not sure I dare to attempt that! I might screw it up beyond repair!  :laugh:

Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop? If you have the latter I don't recommend opening it. A desktop, OTOH, is very easy to clean. You just have to remember to turn it off and cut the power before cleaning the insides. Avoid touching the circuit boards and focus on the fans.

Desktop, but I'm still nervous, even with precautions. I have a weird way of screwing things up.  :runaway:

I'd probably short out the electricity to the entire neighborhood! You mustn't underestimate the power of my nOObness!  :laugh:

Inside you or inside your residence?

Do it in several steps. The first time around, just open it and look around without touching anything. Then close it again and plan for the second time.

Washing machine, short program. And the usual sounds of my computer, and me typing on it.

For the rest, the silence the night should bring.
