Well, I can relate from experience...I didn't find out what was happening until I dis-assembled my desktop before coming down here for college. Turns out that the fan got jammed by dust- a problem I did not make note of during routine cleaning, since the dust that jammed the fan was packed in around the drive shaft- where it is not immediately visible. I actually had to pop the fan head off and wipe the gunk out with a q-tip, because it was too tightly packed for the vacuum.

Basically, don't think that there isn't a blockage just because you can't see one.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
