514798 2007-01-11 10:36:00 I use a pretty decent adjustable air compressor and i do it outside, the hose is very long. I use it for my keyboards (surprising how much hair and dust builds up) and other difficult to clean objects. I clean the pcs fairly regularly. PC case has a fan at the front to suck in, fan at the back that sucks out, creating a nice air flow. jermsie (6820)

oh come now, it's not THAT hard

i use some offcut UNI offroad air filter foam, just add a bit of air filter lube (catches dust and holds it) and it's sweet till i next see it. then a quick rinse in petrol then detergent, dry and i'm good. not hard at all:rolleyes: It's taped to the outside of my case over the intakes, so i can pull them off for lans to show off all the LED fans ;)

i'm serious though, the insides of my pc was getting dusticles near the fans untill i started this, and seeing as i have to do my dirtbike air filter anyway, it isn't really a hassle

lol, it's only square 100x100mm pieces over the intake fans, but if i did buy/make a proper one there would be more foam/less resistance/vacuum therefore better cooling! (or more horsepower:D )

I can tell from this thread who has a nice clean tidy house and who lives in a pigsty.

514804 2007-01-12 01:25:00 i cleaned my pc with vacuum cleaner 1 hour ago and u see there are no problems :)the best way to keep dust free is to have filter or a case with more open spaces so the dust can come outside the box.i never close the case of my other pc and i never have dust inside :) emes34 (11736)

I believe most computer stores would offer cleaning services for up to $40. But that's a complete waste of money, as all you really need to do is get the flat, small head and the brush head of a vacuum and suck in all the dust you can see. Lift up the fan of the CPU heatsink and use the brush head to suck the dust. Use the small, flat head for hard-to-reach places. Use both heads to clean the video card. Simple.
