Dust Removing

[darkangel]

Hi,

I have cleaned my computer many times to remove dust I used to use a tissue but it takes me ages and I have recently been looking to buy a spray which will remove the dust quicker and safer.

Any recommendations to what and where to get this from would be very helpful!

Thank you

I use presurised 'air' spray to blast the dust and dirt out of my pc and keyboard, quick and fun . You can get a can of it from WHSmith, Maplin or from a big PC retailer.

Well I'll beg to differ ... using compressed air would not be recommended in my books.

I use a household vacuum cleaner ... carefully.

Hi,

Could anyone give me some links to where I can get pressurized air from the internet?

Thanks

You can get it from Maplin electronics, www.maplin.co.uk product code N60AN.

Follow the directions and use carefully.

I'm with Mucks on this one. I use a cleaning brush from RS (it's just like a 1"/25mm paintbrush really) and a vacum cleaner. Have been doing so for years.

Compressed air just blows that stuff somewhere else.

Having said that, I know lots of folk are happy using (expensive) cans of compressed air, so, whatever floats your boat, as they say

I clean my machines out about once every four weeks, the tower system at floor level collects the most dust, I really am surprised at how clogged the heatsink fins and fans get. Vacuming/brushing out usually gives me a 2C CPU temp drop each time I do it.
