Well, apparently due to the way Chieftec decided to make the case fan mounts in my rig, the air filters I bought to go on the intake fans will not fit. Therefore I'm going to have to figure out a new way to go about cleaning the dusty yuckiness out of my PC when it comes time.
I've heard of several different ways, varying from liquid air, to pastry brushes, to the detachable nozzel on a vaccum cleaner. I'm just trying to figure out what most people use, and what would be the safest way, posing the least risk to my system.
The only con I can think of for liquid air, is I heard that the stuff comes out at freezing cold temperatures....so I'm thinking that if I held it too close, then it could damage the components. I also thought it out, and it comes to mind that with a pastry brush or feather duster, it would be very easy to create a static imbalance on or around the components...and supposedly static electricity is very detrimental to PC components. The safest one to my way of thinking would be the vacuum cleaner....although it probably wouldn't get it as clean as the others mentioned.
I'm gonna post a poll, but I also want comments from people who know what they're talking about, as I'm sure most the people on this board do.
[EDIT]Goofball me messed up, and forgot to click the check box even though I put in the number of choices, so there will be no poll....un/fortunately that just means everyone who wants to give some input will have to post.
