It needed a good clean too!
Also gave the case the heave ho
The CD/DVD draw covers had lost their springs so off to case heaven it went. (Had a spare case given to me a while ago)
Removed all the components, gave them a good clean and added another DVD burner.
I have a Creative Live 5.1 sound card here that I was going to put in but I don't listen to music etc on the computer anymore
(not since I ripped all my vinyl albums and needed an amp connected to the PC)
Also removed the heatsink from the CPU and cleaned the heatsink thoroughly.
Applied a layer of thermal paste, reseated the heatsink and then reformatted the hard drive.
Long process but it is a rewarding feeling when it fires up like a new PC again.
