Dust Kills! or Why is my MacPro so loud?

First of all huge kudos the @os1019 for the hook up on the link that saved my day! I have been having performance issues with my Mac Pro. Programs locking up, videos having weird lines though them. When I needed help did I call AppleCare? Nope. My first call was to my great Twitter followers! I was given alot of great info on fixing this mess. The one that did it was the link to MacsAreGreat.com .

I am running the RadeonX1900 card upgrade on my 4 core MacPro. It was always making major noise and likeI said weird things were happening. When I first got the card is was great! A huge improvement over the original card. So what was wrong?  DUST! The card collects major dust. Once I cleaned it life has been great! No noise and no lockups!

Here are my official before and after pics:

And the moral to the story? Keep your Mac's clean!

    That’s a dust blanket! I know you’re a PC guy, but be nice to your Mac.
