Kinda ironic with the way you kept saying my 6600GT was dusty, even though it was not. It was the camera flash.

I give it a quick clean out every time I open the case.

However I make sure it gets a really good clean out before summer hits.

yeah I actually noticed that when I pulled mine out but now I have some filters over the blowhole which should hopefully deal with that problem, although I hope they don't effect airflow very much

Other than that, I have filters on must of my intake fans so dust hasn't been much of an issue yet from what I can tell

OK since writing my last reply I gave the comp a good ol' dust and I've managed to lower temps by a good 10C. So yeah maybe it is a good idea every now and then.
