PC dead ... or at least I hope not! Tech help needed?

Just hold your fans when you clean them, cause sometimes the high speeds from the compressor can burn out their little bearings...
 
i've always been a huge huge huuuuuuge Nvidia fan, they've never really let me down, but cant argue with facts, if there cards are running hotter and sucking more power
why would i put myself through the issues of having my system over heat and possibly killing my power supply.

that reminds me i've got a 500w psu with 2 sep 12v rails with either 20 or 18a on each rail hope that will be enough for the 5870 ... dont really feel like going
out to get a whole new psu as well.
 
hmmm dont dust filters mess with the airflow of the case?

No, they just stop dust going in. Otherwise they'd be called air filters ;) I clean my filters out once a month or so, and the inside of my case is mostly dust free. Obviously if you never clean the filters then yes, air flow gets restricted.
