Posted May 25, 2021 And does your case have dust filters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 25, 2021 Dust filters get a clean every fortnight, the actual internals get a minor once over every month, with peripherals/monitors getting the once a week treatment, The joys of owning cats and being slightly OCD on keeping the PC clean with it being a feature in my livingroom lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2021 I clean it once, before I sell it. I build a new computer every couple of years, and it doesn't really get dirty.

Posted May 25, 2021 No dust filters, and I clean it whenever I notice that it's dusty. It's likely going to get dusted when I upgrade my graphics card (hopefully) sometime soon, as I have to pull a lot of stuff out. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2021 I'll occasionally wipe down the dust filters, but my desktop really only gets a full cleaning whenever I do a hardware upgrade. It doesn't get dusty enough to warrant going out of my way to open it up and clean it. Make sure to quote me or use @PorkishPig to notify me that you replied!

Posted May 25, 2021 I don’t use filters and I have the mesh removed. I blow my machine out once per month whether it needs it or not..

Posted May 26, 2021 My new case (Lancool 2 Mesh), I wipe off the front and top when I see dust build up. We have 8 cats and No carpet. When I install my CPU cooler and case fans, hopefully a NVMe drive as well soon, I plan to wipe down the interior. At least I don't put the case on the floor anymore.
