If you have a shop-vac or some other vacuum cleaner with a small tube or
nozzle, you can just vacuum out the inside of the case. That way you
don't have to worry about taking it outside or making a mess of your
room. :) I periodically vacuum my machine while it's running; as long as
I keep clear of the fan blades and don't mash anything, it's reasonably
safe, and I can get most of the dust out that way.
