One thing to remember folks. IF you are cleaning your computer with compressed air, do NOT spin the fans, it will spin them much faster than they are designed to go, and cook the berrings in them.
Hold the fan in place with a finger, or toothpick , keep it from spinning, and they will last a lot longer. I recommend cleaning/blowing out your laptops every month, and desktops every 2 months. Remember to open the case up if you can, and clean the heat sinks and the ram. In both desktops and laptops pull the ram gently as you can, and put it back in place. This will "re-seat' the ram and tends to cut off any problems down the road.

One time I was in there, and they had a full, working barco HD projector (we are talking the BIG boys used for 200+ foot projections), a buddy picked it up for $300 on auction...we played pong on the side of the best western in san jose during a con...yes, pong, at almost 10 stories tall. The ball was 10x10 and he hooked it up to his DJ system so the "Boop, Boop" sounds would project all over the parking lot.
