Compressed air

thebourke

can anyone recommend can of compressed air for cleaning out dust inside pc?

I reckon any will do....... I should really look in my tower again and see if it needs another cleaning in there! (Last time i couldnt believe how much had collected! (Especially on the power supply INTAKE vent))

And to think we might be breathing that crap all the time!! (Kinda scary)

Don't place your tower on the ground, I have mine sitting atop a chest of drawers and after about 2 years there is very little in the way of dust in the interior.

dont buy the stuff in dealz. its very liquidy in my experience.

the stuff in currys/pc world is alright but a bit expensive. same with maplins. about 15 euro a pop. sometimes maplin have a 2for1 special on them.

I know THIS looks expensive in the short run but in the long run it is not, especially if you are in the repair game. For me it was the best buy I made in a long time. Got totally pi$$ed off paying ridiculous prices for tins of air and the Vac is really good at what it does.

Have a compressor in the garage. Works fine.

You will reduce dust in your build by ensuring you have a positive pressure system - that is, you have more air flow in than out. Negative pressure case will collect dust in every nook and cranny that isn't strictly airtight. Causes a real problem for drives.
