guys, i would like to ask any of you with a full tower casing or HAF-X, how do you clean the filters and inside of the casing? considering its really heavy to bring out from your room/hall to the garage/porch to spray with compressed air, any other alternatives? i was wondering if CyberClean could do the job?

I clean once a month.

The air in KL is very polluted. My fans will easily turned black (if it is not black). I filter intake air channel using sponge and this part attracts more dust and particles.

Usually I will brush to clean the case fans and surrounding. I won't wait until they are so thick and hard to remove.

Cyber Clean won't be enough IMHO.

agree! manually clean up!!!

but i have a casing which weighs about 16kg with nothing in it and around 30kg with all my hardware in it. its gonna be hard to bring it out of my room?

Ask help from you parent to help you. Your friends might just a call away to assist you with the heavy lifting.

I don't think you are living alone in an island, don't you?

whats with the weight?

i think heaviest full tower was about 5 kg..

Humm can use vacuum cleaner to vacuum inside the cpu ? i think just brush dust off the any circuit board and vacuum the fan

i use this to clean my CM690 internal and external.

if there's a brush type or/and a small tip to go through the case and etcetera then it'll work
i also use a vacuum cleaner lol

do cleaning every weekend , use hairdryer =D

after use this method pls neutral ur pc with touch ur casing with hand.make sure no power is on.

Those handheld vacuum cleaner is not powerful enough to pull out the dust. Best is to wipe it using cloth. ( with a dip of water ). But it does take some times doing it.

yeap,im also using hairdryer to blow away the dust

its dangerous if use blower to clean mobo / proc area?
i plan want to buy blower next month to clean my rig..
so, nid sifu2 tell me which part that dont use blower when cleaning interior..

you are absolutely wrong~

Yeah, mine weights more than 17kg. Luckily it comes with wheels. I just vacuum the outer mesh only. Did once on taking out each sponge filer, very time consuming

agree a lot with you. even though its removable dust filter, but its not easy to remove. something like on silverstone raven or FT02 and Corsair 600T should be wonderful. and i wonder how to clean the top dust filter, the steps involve is ridiculous

30kg also need to cry heavy haish..


Blowers or compressed air cans isnt dangerours to your mobo/proc and because its pushing and not sucking in air your dont have to place the nozzle so near to electrical like you do with vacuum cleaners

Only the vacuum cleaners are dangerous especially if you use the brush attachment because they create static. Even without the brush attachment, there is still a chance for static to build up around the plastic intake nozzle of the vacuum. Statics fry your pc's electrical components.

When using a blower, even with compressed air can, use something(your finger, toothpick, wahtever) to stop your pc fans from spinning at very high speeds. Speed exceeding the fan's limit will spoil it..thats to say, you fan will still work but its gonna be noisy ;p

my Cosmos 16.9kg unoccupied...very gud for biceps training..hahaha
on cleaning part...i may suggest manual cleaning..
dry cloth/brush with few head types/damp cloth for surfaces without circuits....

are you sure ???? non alu, steel + plastic full tower can be 5kg... ???
