Whats your best solution for dust

[Dreamxtreme]

Im having a problem with the sheer amount of dust accumulating around my pc. 

 

How do you handle your problem with dust.

Take panty hose. You can get them relatively cheap at any department store. Choose the size of thread based on how good filtering you want. Do consider that you are going to stretch them. 

Take the fan, put it in the panty hose. Take a rubber band, wrap it around the edge of the fan. Cut with scissors, a sharp knife, or fire (heat makes stretched panty hose break fairly quickly) to where the panty hose is on the side of the fan that has the air going in (intake side). This way you can just vacuum the panty hose without removing the fan (as long as you don't have a grill). 

Bam. Great re-usable fan filters that you can alter to your preferences and use case. Just be careful about tearing them. They tear VERY easy.

Other than that, always go for positive air pressure. More = better mostly (not always).

Keep a clean room and occasionally use compressed air.

Positive air pressure and dust filters.

 

I'll be doing a pseudo-build log and I'll tag you in it. I haven't so much as wiped the inside of my case since I bought it (over a year now)

universal vacuum cleaner  kidding

1 dust filters 

2 keep it away from dusty places 

3 keep the window closed more often as dust lerks through the windows <<< where i live is a desert 

 

and this 

[moustacheman]

clean everything weekly! compressed air and a microfibre cloth for dust filters! Get dust filters! also dont put your pc on carpet 

[exyia]

not being lazy about keeping a clean room

 

and not being lazy about blowing out my (removable) dust filters occassionally

 

the only time I really had dust problems was when I get lazy about it all

[Chriz6097]

Positive pressure and air filters on all intakes, have the computer elevated off the floor especially if it is carpeted and lastly turn off your computer when your not using it. Having a pc run 24/7 will accumulate more dust than one running only when you use it.

i wish i did that......... and from now on i shall be doing what you just did there    

[MegaDave91]

Filters are critical for preventing as much dust buildup as possible.

How can you tell what is positive air pressure. Also I'm using a cosmos 2 so it does have built in air filters. But i find there not working all to way on the 200mm front fan

I'd appreciate it if you only did that if you intend to write lengthy posts as I do. If I arrive at a thread and begin my post, but I know it's going to be lengthy and informative, I will use that. If the post I'm writing won't be both of those things, I won't use it.

The only way I justify saving a place like that is if your post has potential to be helpful and is unjustly long. Such that although you are working hard to help people, your post is getting bumped down the thread because you are trying to be helpful. 

Otherwise, I don't do it.

More air going in than air going out.

If you have 5 fans blowing air into the case and 3 fans blowing air out of the case and they are all going the same speed, that is positive air pressure. Whereas the opposite (3 blowing in with 5 blowing out) is negative air pressure.

I have My pc on the desk in a "room" that covers almost the entire house and it Also in the Second floor.

Despite me having no filters dust build-up is minimal

An easy way to see if you have positive air pressure is to add up the CFM of your intakes and your exhausts and see if the CFM of the intakes is greater than the CFM of exhausts assuming you run your fans at full speeds.

[Chevaishr]

use cheese cloth and put it on the intake of all fans and also ensure that you have more fans blowing in than blowing out of your case
