Hey

My iMac 24" intel makes this very slight buzzing noise when its on. its about a year old, and i am starting to suspect that the fan is getting "buzzy" because of dust or whatnots.

How can I check and clean it out?

Do I have to bring it into apple store and pay copious amounts of $$$ to basically get some guy to open it up and blow out the dust?

I also noticed my temperatures have been steadily climbing over the past 6 months... my HD temp used to run at 40 ish, nowadays it runs closer to 60...

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
to avoid breaking your warranty i would take it to the apple store at least there they will do it correctly as well
