Yeah, but that wasn't it with mine. I cleaned that sucker routinely.
Even played with attaching rolled tubes of paper to the dust-buster and
had a special hogs hair bush that I kept by the computer for the
purpose. (A Manhattan tenement apartment is a fairly dusty place) I
routinely ran the thing with the case open and a 21" room fan pointed
directly into it. Now the room fan sits, purposeless, in the corner of
the room.
