My desktop sits on floor next to pathway to dog door and the fan is always clogging up with dog hair and dust. It makes a horrible noise that gets pretty loud and I have to unplug everything to take the case out to blow out the dust. Its not a big problem except when its cold and raining outside.
I thought about buying some thin filter material and taping it over the back of the computer, but afraid it might over heat the computer. The fan noise is usually my warning to blow it out and I may not know if its clogged with just the filter.
Note: It's not practical for me to move the computer because of the house layout. Although I might be able to raise it a bit off the floor, but not sure how much that would benefit me unless I could raise it up at least 3 ft.
