It's not that bad. I clean it out every 6 months, I'm about 4 months out. There is no dust in the CPU heatsink or other heatsinks.

Only thing I am not happy with is the non-modular power supply. (looks wise)

Will probably go modular soon, although the Seasonic power supply still rocks. Stable and reliable as can be.
 
Case: A+ El Diablo
Motherboard: Biostar A770 A2+
Memory: Rendition (Crucial) 4gb (4x1gb) DDR2 800

GPU (video card): EVGA Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 512mb
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 500gb 7200rpm SATA
Power supply: Rosewill Green Series RG-430 430 watt
Optical (cd drive): NEC 16x DVD+/-R IDE (took it from my old computer since it still works)

LOL I thought when I was reading the directions to have it point that way. That or I simply wasn't paying any attenion at all and mounted it backwards... CPU is at 39C right now. I'll have to get some down time to change it apround.
 
Heres my "HTPC." Well, its not done yet.
It used to be my old primary, then I got the one above for Christmas so it was retired and stripped of parts. I got it together again but I need a larger HD and a Tuner card. Probably get a Graphics card with Native HDMI sometime later as well.

There is the only problem with this board. It has pretty bad NorthBridge cooling. Ive even added the 40mil fan and its not enough under heavy loading. It get hots enough to burn my finger. Ive opened the minidumps from the inevitable bluescreen and the failure is always with the graphics driver, so I suspect the heat is a causing a failure of the PCIe link. I have a larger cooler on the way and hope that will fix the issue..

It doesn't help that one of the hottest running CPUs ever is exhausting right onto the north bridge.. probably not that well thought out as far as design on Biostar's end, mainly only when using Pres"hott" CPUs though.

TDP of the Prescott is 90W, which was very high at the time; TDP of a AMD "Barton" was 72W. But any high-end CPU today has a TDP in the 130-140W range. It still wasnt well thought out, obviously. It needs active cooling or a large heatsink. More so since it has a graphics core built in. Would probably crash even faster with the IGP active.
 
My home machine is an Inspiron 510 (boring)

Here is my work Laptop. Panasonic CF-52 Semi-rugged. Magnesium case, 15 inch screen, 4 GB ram, 160 Sata 2 Travelstar HDD. Windows XP. It is in the docking station. Sprint 595 Air Card for when I am mobile.

One of our Motor Units Itronix Go Book MR-1 Laptops. These things are tiny, have crummy hard disks, fail frequently. the zip ties keep the battery from shifting and turning the unit off.

The Panasonic Toughbooks are the bomb. 3 foot drop rated. magnesium case. Not super fast, but [censored] reliable.

Yes, that is my business card. I am not hiding anything. Panasonic Lappys are the [censored]. U.S. based support in Leawood Kansas. Mil-spec rated. The CF-52 goes for about 1500 dollars, as spec'd. Mark III is coming out with touch screen and LED keyboard lighting. Mine is the MK II. I will be getting a MK III in about a month.

This is one of my older servers, I've not customized one like this in some time. The customers get nervous for some reason:
