I usually clean my PC once a month. This case has two quick release air filters so it only takes a few minutes. However I like to do a serious cleaning about once a year. Its a good idea to keep a clean case, many years ago I had a fire inside a case which may or may not have been because of dust and people occasionally find mice and other odd things in their case. (I did have a moth in the case today) In any event I had some time today to do a real thorough cleaning with air cans and a vacuum.
While I had the case open I noticed I never added my temperature sensors so I took the time to add them. It will be interesting to see what they report
when I start gaming. I attached some pictures of where I put them in the case. This first picture has the rats nest of wires that run underneath the motherboard. I snaked the system temperature behind the motherboard as well.

| At the bottom you can see the yellow tape where I taped the system sensor. (73°F currently) |
 |
| I didn't put this one right on the CPU but taped it down just inside the heat sink. (83°F currently) |
 |
| This is the GTX 285 BFG sent me. I just taped a sensor onto the card (94°F currently) |
 |
| This is taped just above the hard drives inside the tray. (71°F currently) |
