clean computer?

[circusslaughter]

I used the air in the can and it didn't do jack for my computer.

Other ideas to clean it?

Does anyone smoke in the house? That stuff is very difficult to remove.
Was it a new can?
Do you have an air compressor?

 

[circusslaughter]

No smokers. I used 2 new cans. No compressor.

Hmm, a picture might be needed at this point, if you can.

It is dust, or something else? Is it on the inside, or the outside?

 

[circusslaughter]

I was able to use a air compressor and this dirt is just liked glued to my fans. Probably going to have to try and hand clean it, probably shouldn't have put off cleaning it for 2 months.

would be the best.if you can you could make some filter in front of your fan and magnet to hold them.

a magnet !!!!! not a good idea im sure it was a magnet close to lappy that fried my HDD.. was lucky the lappy was still under guarantee.. but to prevent dust i cut up my gf old tights n taped pieces to all air intakes

A word of caution if you don't mind...I'm referring to taping screens or filters over air intakes. Make sure you allow for some airflow to ensure you get proper ventilation inside your rig.

Open up your computer case, and clean the various heatsinks and fans. When cleaning fans, hold them down while you spray the compressed air so they don't spin. If they spin while not powered on this can damage them.

Also use compressed air outside.
