Default Hard Core Cleaning

I am going to a LAN party and I want to make sure my computer is fast and clean and stuff.


Any programs or tips are appreciated.



Thanks.

Do you mean physically clean like free of dust, or the hard drive be clean?

If you can see this, you have WAY TOO much time on your hand. Or you're a mod going through my sig. But if you do, copy and past this in your sig.

I would open up your computer and then use an air duster to blow the dust away.

Cleaning the hard drive and it's contents wont really do anything to improve gaming performance.
