My personal advice is to do it and do it often. Neglecting to clean out the inside of my computer was one of the things that kept my merry-go-round of computer problems going earlier this year. My machine got too hot, and I blew some capacitators on the mother board. There's a possibility it might be fixable, but not until I can get the cash money to do so.
And don't count on the technicians to do so. A few years ago when I had problems, they did some minor cleaning for me while they had it. I thought it was something nice they did regularly - this time they didn't do it, or say anything about it, so I assumed...very wrongly, as it turned out. When I asked about it upon turning it in, "oh, we charge to do that," so a simple two minute wipe-out cost $$. I'm not saying I wanted a deep cleaning or anything like that, but it would have been nice if one of them had said something!
