How often do you open your pc ?

Jebonia

And what for?. I open mine atleast 4 times a week. I don't even know why. I just like doing it. I have tried to leave it alone bu i only lasted 1 1/2 weeks. I have also did a full clean (getting the air compressor and blowing the heatsinks) 3x since February. It wasn't even dirty but i just do it alot.  i have also reseated my cpu heatsink 6x and gpu 2x just for fun

Haha I totally agree! I open it for no reason just because it's pretty. I bet it must be hard for people without windows

I don't know if I would recommend air compressors for cleaning computers. Compressors tends to condense a lot of moisture, which isn't something I would want to blow at my system with high pressure at least ;-)

Once every 2 months to clean it out. It's in a really inconvenient place to keep maintaining.

Meh..

I rinse dust from the radiators and fans once every two weeks or so.

And usually change my liquid every 4-5 months.

 

Dust filters are pretty nice <3

I don't open it often. But when I do I see that I need compressed air more and more.

Same! My PC is my pride possession, sometimes I just like to 'mire it. I usually find something to fix as well. Like the other day I just realised my power and reset switch cables were a bit messy so I fixed it up.

Show your PC some love, open it once in awhile and play with its cables ;)

 

I only open it when I'm bored... Which is like... Everyday.

With my old machine I used to have to open it fairly often to either give it a clean or to adjust something that wasn't working right. My current one I've only had a week but I won't open it until it needs a good clean. 

If I were a bird, I'd fly into a ceiling fan.

I used to do it frequently, but now that I've gotten it running seamlessly, not so much. Maybe once every other week to clean.
