Noisy fan and slow computer

I had this problem with my desktop

It was operating very slowly and some times it would stop

It would start off fine and then would slow down. Occasionally the fan would make

a lot of noise. When I opened it I found out that the fan was covered with a lot of

dirt. I tried to clean it out. It was not satisfactory. So I got one of the air sprayers

and blew out the dirt off the fan. After that my computer started working fine

I thought this might be of some help to some one.
