Taking out AGP graphics card

Hi,

I want to take out my AGP graphics card so i can clean the fan properly as its a little dusty.

I just want to know what i should put it on when i take it out?
Can i just put it on a plain piece of paper?

Or should i lye it down on something else?

I dont wonna damage it.

Thanks

A plain piece of cardboard will do nicely and remember to ground yourself before you remove the card.
One of those plastic swizzle sticks will keep the fan from moving when you blow out the dust with compressed air.
