Default How often do you dust your computer?

Kind of a pointless thread, but I am just wondering how often you guys have to/want to dust your computers. As for me, I haven't had to yet since I only got it built by later summer and not too much dust has built up yet. The only things that has very much dust on them are the fans.

I don't get very much dust, My case has a dust filter. I do have to clean that sometimes however.

About once a quarter... that's about how often I have to break into teh case to upgrade or repair something.

About once a month for the ones in the lab... they're open-case so it's just a matter of blowing them off with the compressor.

Since mine is in a basement with a wood shop, I like to do it every month at least.

3 days and the dust starts to build up...
