Even if you are adding no hardware, do you ever strip it down and thoroughly clean it, or do you just do a clean with everything in place?
 
I hover my psu every now and then.
Its full modular so I just unplug all cables and clean it.
Rest of the pc don't catch much dust because it sits on the desk, It rarely needs cleaning.
 
Don't need to clean it,ill only strip it down if there's an issue or I'm.selling/upgrading parts

The less you mess the better imo
 
Air blast every 2 weeks, strip it down once a year, clean fan filters once a week with water and leave them to dry.
 
I've got a Hadron Air with no dust filters at all and a load of negative pressure, but surprisingly no dust whatsoever has built up inside it (I'd had a good look).
 
I just check monthly, rinse and dry the filters. However on it's birthday I do a complete stripdown to check integrity and polish case windows and stuff.

Custom loop clean case fan filters , inside of case when l do a monthly check and then give everything a blast of air including my external rad+fans 15 minute's at the most.
 
Clean filters whenever I remember and have something more important to do.. And look through window every now and then. Barely have to open it to get rid of dust.
 
Clean my desktop once every ~4 years or so - leave it all built, just take off the CPU fan to get at the dust on the heatsink. Generally replace the GPU more often than that so it doesn't need cleaning. I 'clean' the filters once every couple of months, as in i scrape the dust layer off.
 
I just clean the fan filters about once every 3 months other than that if I am doing an upgrade I will give it a proper clean.
