my usb vacuum can clear 80% of dust inside my cpu...
but the real problem is the gap between the Fin shaped CPU heatsink,always fulled of dust cake,and hard to clear

You can try buying those air pump people use to clean their camera lens. But I don't know if it can generate enough pressure/force to blow out dust deep inside the fins.

Best opinion is to get compress air cans. You can buy them from ACE hardware stores.

use fan filter~~ the best XD

get this filter from uglyvamp

I think i will get some of these

i'm using same casing as urs
for me, i just run my pc for 3months long.
after 3months, i bring the whole pc to wash. =]
motherboard, ram, draphic card, psu all i giv it a wash =] as long as u DRY IT PROPERLY then its still alive =] (dry arround 3-5 days)
*HDD cant be washed

I think using blower is way better than vacuum cleaner...But that's hard to get blower, mayb hair drier with the lowest temp?

Yeah..Water Cooling certainly will greatly reduce the dust in ur casing.
By the way, you can always use dust cover but there is no way 100% to avoid dust if you are using air cooling

just clean ur god damn room. I'm a construction worker. u dun wanna see my work place pc.

R u kidding?

Nope, it's not kidding anyway...U can do in that way, but juz have to make sure ur hardwares are completely dry before install and switch on...

Thx for the info,but sound too risky for me.
Somemore 3-5days of waiting will gonna kill me.

Found a quite good stuff juz now.

Haha...Me too, i cant live without computer for more than 2 days...
Luckliy, i still can use my laptop if im going to wash my desktop...

Doesn't electric vacuum / blower create static?

ya,but i used to do my practical training in a computer shop...
but u know wat?before we start working inside the casing,we will simply use the 240V big ass vacuum to clean it up 1st...all of it(proc,gpu,ram...)
and so far nothing really ROSAK la,i think they can withstand a certain level of static charge la

juz dun touch ur rig,right after u get off from ur motorbike

i dun think that amount of static is able to destroy the hardware.... nowadays, the parts is build to last...

yes, u can wash ur mobo, but u must dry it before using it
n take out the battery before washing
do it at u own risk, dont blame me if u not success

this is my old mobo gigabyte 915 chipset, died 2 years ago,
after washing it, it look like new



powering up,

still using it till now

died still can power up o.O ?

he he! yeah still alive.

anyway i done that too. after take use hair dryer then put on aircon room,, overnight then install back.

final word are same "do it at u own risk"

so risky job there...
