dust bunnies =@

SirDavisCarrots · 30-May-03, 10:46 PM

alright so 1st time i took a look in my case for a long time i got dust bunnies all over my HS/F could i use a vacumme? or should i use many paper towles and q-tips?

my case has 2 intake and 2 outake [is that right "outake"???] would it be a good idea to get a filter of some sort? will i get too much heat that way?

EDIT: i have a correction based on BA's post

don't use a vaccume to suck dust out of your comp that can cause static to build up and fry something in your rig.

filter on the intakes is a good idea, i suggest going to the store and getting some compressed air to clean out your comp, or as BA pointed out below a vacume to BLOW the dust and such out..

Edit: the term your a looking for is exhaust not "outtake"

I got a Hoover that allows me to connect the hose to the exhaust. Lot's of vacuums have this feature. Works like a charm.

leaf blowers work well too

our electric blower barely keeps our little dogs on the ground, let alone my computer.

seriously though,try a 2" or 3" paintbrush.just be sure that the only thing you use it for is dry dusting.i've been using the same one for at least 10 years.
