So I guess my computer is fine...for now. I had it on for 7 hours yesterday and nothing smelled like smoke...the power box was a little warm..but nothing happened. I blew inside of it and took tweezers to get some dust bunnies out. i can't find that can of compressed air so i had to do it the old fashioned way. anyway, i think dust bunnies were burning the other day..not sure. but anyway yeah.. i backed up all my stuff so it's all good.

so the only times i'll turn it off is when i'm gone and sleeping. just in case :P

but yeah...it's fine. everything is fine.
