How to clean your PC case

Just a lil article to check out for such matters. I know most ppl don't take on dust and other such things in their case but it does aid significantly in some cases.

i use my trusty air compressor



and where i live in santa cruz, it so humid that ESD isn't an issue (although i still take precautions)

...and i clean my PC's every 2~3 months

This is why I was so 'thirst' to get some fan filters for my Antec 900 recently.
Those 120 mm intake fans move a lot of air, and consequently, a LOT of dust.

Dust can have a SERIOUS effect on PC performance, as with dust, comes heat,
and heat increases electrical resistance, which causes electrical circuits to
decrease in efficiency, which in turn can lead to actual breakdowns if left unchecked.

You can get air in a can most any computer store, in fact just 2 days ago I was in a computer store and a man purchased a can for 30tt. Honestly though a Vacuum is also a good idea as simply blowing dust out of the case could be hazardous to your health. From an HSE course I recently did it was recommended to use a vacuum as opposed to compressed air for cleaning machines (PCs, Printers, photocopiers, etc) as the dust can be VERY hazardous. Take for instance toner dust from copiers, or other dropping from rats etc that CAN find their way into cases of different types. Blow it out and foosh, you have AIR BORN black plague... the point is be careful. Also be careful using compressors as their PSI is FAR above ATM pressure and you could (potentially) cause irrepairable harm to yourself should air buble find their way into your blood... skin doh stop high pressure air nearly as well as ppl would believe... just some food for thought.

i heard bubbles in your blood is not a fun thing to have... if it gets to your heart first you get a heart attack, if it gets to your brain first you get a stroke .. neither of which is cool as far as i see it. that being said which store you see it in for 30tt? and how much does an air compressor cost(no that i need one or anything just want to know)
