you didnt say here what type of video hardware you have but when my
beyondtv(widndows variant) started rebooting i learned that the fan
on my video card had failed while it appeared to spin, and was
clean it was not working took a while to track down, but it was a
fast fix once i figured it out
I very purposefully purchased a fan-less graphics card with a big fat
heatsink on it. While doing a physical inspection of the system
during diagnosis, I noticed there was no dust on any of the internal
components, just on the intake grills and the fans themselves.
I'm quite happy that I managed to come up with a very quiet system
through careful component research, selection and assembly. Turns
out it's got good airflow, too, what with a total of six fans in the
system (two 92mm Antec Tri-Cool fans up front, two 80mm Tri-Cools
exhausting above the rear I/O panel, the PSU fan (which the case
gives its own air path) and the CPU cooler (which the case provides a
seperate air intake for.)
For the curious, I'm using the SilverStone LC20 (black):

It's about the same dimensions as my AV receiver.
