Word clock/termination

Hi folks
I've been trying to sync up a Swissonic AD96 MKII with an RME 9652 and a Lucid DA9624.
Things were generally unstable with wrong sample rate displays on the RME and a flashing lock light on the Lucid until I removed the BNC terminator from the T connector on the RME word clock in.
Anyone know if not terminating the last piece in the chain is OK?

How to keep your DAW clean?

I just have a few questions about keeping your DAW clean... Any tips?
First of all I understand that you should keep the area around it clean... ( it's a typical "male-thing" to vaccum every day...hmmm.. :d: )
But do you use filters on you case fans to avoid getting dust inside the case?
And if you already have dust on you mobo, how do you get rid of it safely?
