| 111786 | 2003-01-07 20:31:00 | Having had reason to spend a fair bit of time inside the box recently I can't help but wonder about the best way to get rid of all that dust! Any ideas (NB: I don't have anything to 'blow' it away using air pressure) |

| 111787 | 2003-01-07 20:34:00 | I know I'll probably be flamed for saying this, but... just get out your vacuum cleaner and vacuum it... very carefully :) I've done this several times with several machines and never had a problem, although I don't doubt there are risks involved. Mike. |

| 111788 | 2003-01-07 20:57:00 | If you open the case and fiddle about with the components enough, then there never seems to be any dust to worry about! ;) I have seen a reall badly done PC with fans so clogged up they dont spin! Give it a good blow around (From your mouth - Like the Big Bad Wolf), and sometimes a pastry brush to get into those hard-to-reach places! Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 111790 | 2003-01-07 21:47:00 | I cleaned out a cow-orkers PC case the other week - her hubby had been sanding the floors in the same room, and didn't think to cover or move it. (He did put covers on the furniture, though!). When I opened the case (trying to figure out why it wasn't working), there was a 1cm layer of sawdust over absolutely everything. That compressed air sure did the trick though - got 90% of the components working again (for a while, anyway). I think it costs around $15 a can... | honeylaser (814) | ||
