| 111796 | 2003-01-07 22:56:00 | I use a vacume cleaner on reverse too. Just be careful about not actually touching any of the components with it because they seem to build up quite a bit of static. Also stick something like a screw driver in the fans before you aim at them to stop them from being spun too fast. |

| 111798 | 2003-01-07 23:22:00 | the trouble with vacuum cleaners is they can generate large amounts of static. a can of air is better. also a small brush is good for getting at that stuck on dust. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 111799 | 2003-01-08 00:20:00 | I got a Dilbert book for Christmas on account of the Far Side ceasing production of desktop calendars. I've been right through it from cover to cover Honeylaser, but Dilbert hasn't orked a single cow. Have I been given a defective book ?:| Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

If the book you have purchased in less than 2 years old, and does not contain any mention of orking, cows or otherwise, then I'm afraid you should return it for a full refund. |

| 111801 | 2003-01-08 00:27:00 | I always keep a 2" paintbrush around . That shifts dust around, and I've never had static troubles with it . I don't think static is a problem when all the components are plugged in . The connectors are covered, and everything is at "unipotential" . Static is problem if you unplug a memory stick and blast it with fast moving dry air . BTW, that "canned air" is not air . (If it was, it would be even more exorbitantly priced than "Pure Mineral Water" which is bottled tap water . :D) But anyway, I wouldn't rely on it's being static-free . It's moving fast from a fine nozzle . That creates static . A vacuum cleaner's output is much lower velocity, so will have less static potential . (That's a pun, geddit :D ?) . But why not use the suction of the vacuum cleaner? Blowing dust distributes it around the room . A venetian blind attachment (or whatever they call that flattened bit of rubber hose) would probably get into most places . |

Thats quite important. I'm certainly not ever going to put the vacuum cleaner anywhere near my cases/components. If something needs cleaning, I either use a cloth or blow the dust out. |
