Keeping it off the ground usually helps reduce the amount of shit inside.

I wouldn't recommend cleaning out any heatsinks without taking the fan off first, though. That's just a trip to loud city waiting to happen as you blow all the dust into the bearing. You also don't get very good access.

Personally, I just use a clean paintbrush to dust down the various heatsinks and do it outside on a windy day. Saves me passing out from breathing too heavily. :p
