Title: My PC's getting luxury treatment!
Post by: zuhane on July 25, 2009, 10:58:02 AM

Basically, since I installed my 8800GT, my computer kept not turning on.
It turned out my processor was overheating, so I had to leave the case
open. Anyway, I just looked inside and it's plastered with dust and dog hairs.
It's not the nice "blow-away" dust, but more the dust that needs wiping off.
The problem is, I want to clean it without doing static damage or something like
that! Does anyone know what I can do to ensure I don't damage the components
whilst giving the inside a good clean?

Once that's done, I'm attaching a new fan, overclocking my CPU and re-attaching the
case :D

Buy a can of compressed dry air from just about any computer hardware store, and get all of that stuff out of there.

Get a vacuum, one of the micro nozzle attachments and do that.
That's what I did for my laptop keyboard (which hadn't been cleaned in like 3 years D: .)
It works pretty good.
Just make sure you have like a dust buster vacuum.
