| 428858 | 2006-02-09 22:28:00 | Just to add another opinion : if you have an electric hand held leaf blower, plug it in, take off the case, take the PC outside and let her rip! Yes it works - we've done it hundreds (no exaggeration, it's what we do) of times without a single failure. Much less chance of touching anything and provided all the components are secure it is a much faster and easier way of doing it, plus it dislodges all the dust etc from all the corners and all surfaces. It works like a charm - what might start out as a 15-20 minute job only takes about 2 minutes. As the other posters have mentioned, still use a brush to brush out the vents beforehand and use a pencil to stop the fans spinning out of control....too easy! A |

Additionally I looked at my AZZ Cardfile and Thread 63327 covered the same subject so may be worth a look at. I have had my new PC, for I guess, a year now, to must start thinking along those lines.

| 428861 | 2006-02-10 09:48:00 | I take mine to work, wipe off the hard drives & cover with rags, then give the rest 110psi airline treatment, it's worked fine for years & only takes a few seconds to clean. You should see what comes out of the power supplies | Phil B (648) | ||
| 428862 | 2006-02-10 09:56:00 | 1) take all covers off 2) place in dishwasher 3) be careful to use a cold cycle 4) dry for a good solid week..... P.S. this is a joke, although I've heard of someone who cleaned their laptop bag with soap and water ......... laptop still inside. |

One of my friends did a similar thing, but by accident. He had a "waterproof" laptop bag & went out in our great southern weather. Turns out the bag couldn't stand up to southern storm. The water could get in, but not out :lol: :D He had to leave the laptop to dry for a long time, but it still worked when he turned it on & was surely very clean inside :lol: |
