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

Yah it would really suck to not have a window. Though if you don't have a window, you at least don't have to worry as much about cable management

I have a window, so I open it once a month to clean it, although I've been slacking recently.

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 ;-)

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.

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.

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.
