Does air cleaning your PC with a can of that compressed air lower the heat of your computer? It does look pretty dusty in there and my comp is a bit hot after buying a new video card.
Air cleaning your PC?

The less dust the better. My friend had dust accumulate in his 9800 pro and the fan stopped causing the card to burn up.
Dust is bad in every way. It clogs up heat sinks (which rely solely on moving air to function, therefore if air doesn't move between the fins, it doesn't cool anything), it clogs up fans which cause them to burn out and become a mini-furnace (probably could cause a fire if it got hot enough), and it also can short stuff out.
So, get rid of dust whenever you can. If you really don't want dust, put in some fan filters and seal up every other hole in your case.
I usually de-dust my rig about every 1.5 - 3 months (depending how bad it gets).

Well, wow.. i just did it for my computer and the temp went from 46 degrees to 39, don't know if its just from the air that was hitting my computer or the dust that is now no longer there. Either way im happy oh and just have to say this.. the graphics on high for BF2 are just crazy compared to what i used to run (with my crappy x300 series card..) the temp is staying at 39 degrees so perhaps it was the cleaning that did it!
