if you don't clean your computer you could find out the hard way that a neglected computer is an energy hog. one that works harder than it needs to and one that could be a lot of money to replace.
Let's talk about maintaining hardware. So much emphasis is put on maintaining a computer's operating system and its software that we sometimes forget how important it is to maintain a computer's hardware components. Since there can be quite a few components to take care of, let's talk about the most important one.
The most important component of a computer's hardware system is its fan. The fan is located on the computer's CPU unit and when that thing gets clogged with dirt and dust, it can really cause trouble... error screens, components melting and a horrible smell the fan is responsible for keeping a computer's motor cool and this motor is what keeps the computer's hard drive functioning the way you need them to (fast!)
A dirty fan doesn't rotate fast enough to keep that motor cool and a completely clogged fan just stops rotating altogether. This causes the computer's motor to work harder - and a harder working motor can raise the electric bill! the motor can overheat and stop working as well. No motor equals no computer.
Keep your computer's fan clean by preventing the fan from getting dirty or dusty in the first place. Use the computer in a dust-free environment and never smoke around it. cigarettes don't just harm us, they have a huge affect on our computers fans. just like smokers lungs clog up, there computers fans do too!
It's quite easy to cause more damage from cleaning so if you're not comfortable with cleaning your PC yourself, take it to a shop for servicing.
to sum it all up… computers+dust=harder working fans=fire hazard+broken computer
