10-20 bucks at local electronic retailers

765768 2009-04-17 04:38:00 I just stick the vaccum cleaner in with the upholstery tool on. It gets into most places and does a reasonable job. Particularly around fan grilles and cpu cooler fins. It has not sucked the video card or anything else out yet that i did not want sucked out.

I normally empty the vac before I start in case it sucks off a jumper or something then it is not so hard to find in the dust bowl.

I always meant to get an air spray can but I figured that would just blow the dust from one place to another.

I will have to try that. Sounds like a good idea and will be able to clean the fans and anything else.
