| 1142644 | 2010-10-09 07:32:00 | On the older electrolux vacumn cleaners the intake pipe could be put on the exit side... I've been looking for this type of vacuum cleaner as my aging Tellus is about time to retire! Not available nowadays, it seems. |

| 1142645 | 2010-10-09 09:34:00 | this one is very scary I've seen my fair share of PCs like that. Most smokers have the decency to smoke outside, but the ones who smoke inside end up with a computer like the one in your picture. At work we have built a poor mans fume cupboard out of an old rangehood & cardboard that we use when we blow out computers with compressed air. It works reasonably well & has got to be better than breathing in all that dust. |

| 1142647 | 2010-10-09 10:51:00 | I just use a clean dry paintbrush, and sometimes the vacuum as well - to suck what the brush gets. If it's really, really filthy, I have taken the entire PC part and cleaned each part and rebuilt it. You should make sure the brush is a real bristle and not synthetic. |

| 1142648 | 2010-10-09 20:14:00 | Does anyone realize what that dust inside their puters is? Dead skin cells, mostly - unless you have a cat . Then it may be cat fur AND human skin cells . Got more than one human in your puter area? Then you have multiple dead human cell-remains there . Don't breathe in any dead humans!Meh . That is the least of my worries . I actually caught fleas (and infested my house!!) from one computer I was fixing for a friend that I decided to 'dust' when the cover was off . Seriously . I had to flea bomb the entire house afterward . Rule #1 - clean computers outside . |

Ye gods that's steep, have you tried Bunnings or Mitre 10? Don't know if they sell it though. Otherwise as mentioned earlier maybe a balloon and straw |

| 1142652 | 2010-10-10 00:42:00 | How long do these cans of compressed air last? How long is a piece of string.:rolleyes: Not very long. Will be giving the balloon trick a try as it sounds very economical. |
