[CGUYS] Cleaning the Inside of a Computer

[Alvin Auerbach]

My iMac is about 4 years old, and I think that the fan noise is louder  
than it was originally. I want to open it up and vacuum the dust out  
of it, but I recall reading that this may make a static electrical  
charge that could ruin some semiconductors. I would like to know if  
anyone has personal experience with this, either good or bad (I was  
going to write positive or negative, but...); or is this just an urban  
legend?
