most often the major hardware problems are simply needing the simplest fix
i have had to replace optical disc drives and PSU, every other issue has been a zero cost repair

a couple weeks ago my system refused to boot - scrubbed the dust bunnies out (then had to vacuum the carpet, what a mess!) reseated the RAM and all is well in my world

always always always do the things that you can do for free and you will find you rarely need to purchase anything

fact is, on a desktop system the components are quite durable and you will most likely upgrade your system long before it actually fails

i opened up my case this afternoon to clean out some dust, and after i put it back together, it won't turn on.

Also, you might want to re-consider your cleaning/dusting method inside your PC going forward. If you got big hands or generally clumsy, be very careful otherwise you might want to do fewer cleanings!
