Hi smcclarigan, everyone.
My two Pesos...
(First! I think the best way to keep your Cruncher clean is to get it off of the dusty Carpet.)
I use two Brushes that I re-recruited for the Job.
{Use a Ground Strap! They're Cheep. Scotch Tape and wire
will do in an emergency too!}
The first Brush I like is a "tiny"8mm-soft Camel hair.
I use it AND a Small Flash Light to clean around the mother boards and cards.
The second is a nylon stiffie. It collects the hard crud off the fan edges
and such.
I don't care for compressed air and would never take a customers
machine "Outside to clean it". LOL
I take the time to go thru and brush and suck out the box. Spotless.
I'd save the compressed air for the Air Conditioners and under the
Ice Box.
"I have personally Killed more PC parts than most" and have learned
some form it. (I hope!)
Again, I think that blasting crud around in a pc is the Lazy way to clean one. My opinion but
what will you get after YEARS of that? Crud.
Having said that I want also to say that Most of the PC users I have
met should not be allowed any where near the inside of their PCs!
(I know that's not you folks! lol)
So if your going to get in there...........Compressed air or not..
And your not a PC Guru!
Bring your sense of humor and a...
Static Strap! (Grounding Strap!)
Static Strap!
Static Strap!
