How do u recommend getting rid of dust?

[KronicRageQuitr]

Any tips on easy ways to get rid of dust build-up in computer? In particular ones that don't involve fluids.

I normally used compressed air, but always do it out of doors and am careful not to breath it. If you need details this link is fairly comprehensive. In a pinch I have used a vacuum but this is not generally recommended due to the possibility of static elec.

I usually have 3-4 cans of air that I use. When one starts to get cold, I trade off to the next one. My neighbors love all the ghost turds floating from my pc to their patio :awe:

Add filter(s) at the air intake(s) so it doesn't get in there in the first place.

Air compressor and distance between the blower and the parts. Blow clean, if you're worried about moisture, leave it in the open for an hour or two and then close here up and back to work.

I just carefully wipe it up with a Swiffer sheet and throw it away. Taping Swiffer sheets as filters across air intakes helps reduce dust a lot.

I use vacuum cleaner, the attachments it came with are enough to reach 90% of the places and overall it pretty much sucks everything out.

Vacuuming is OK provided you use static proof tools such as these:

Otherwise, there is a risk of static electricity generation which can damage sensitive PCB components.

By the time it needs cleaning, it is time for a new one anyway.

In my house, that would be a new computer about once a month...

1. Positive pressure cooling.
2. Dust filters.
3. Filtering of the whole house.

My dad has used a vacuum to get the dust out of a computer, but I don't like that. I just use compressed air.

I used to vacuum my old computer, and it worked fine. But you have to make sure there are no loose parts that'll be sucked up because one time that happened to me and I had to find another screw lol.

vacuum what you can, then use an electric duster.
