How To Clean My PC? [SOLVED] (with money)

Hello Folks!

 

Okay my PC has been standing around for quite a while now.

And like many PC's it collected a LOT of dust.

 

Now since I don't have an air compressor, or any other form of compressed air, I wanted to ask you guys how I could clean my PC. 

 

I heard a vacuum cleaner is bad for your parts, because of the static. Is there any other way? 

The dust sits deep between the fins of the heatsinks on the GPU and CPU.

 

Thanks. :)

It's gonna take a while though.

 

Or,you know,you could buy a can of compressed air.

Just put your dick in it...

 

 

Or you can prevent dust from going in your case in the first place by setting up your fans so that the amount of air going in is less than air going out.

What. Q tips and compressed air? You just need a paint brush and a vacuum to catch the flying dust.

Hair dryer on the cold setting, seriously 10e (the price it costs here) is crazy for air.

Never had a problem with a nice hair dryer and paint brush

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

It works wonders, keep the fans from moving, blow all the easy air out, then do a pass with a paint brush, re do with air and it's like new

Another way you can do if you don't have a blower like I do is to use this

 

$(KGrHqV,!ocFG6FoCPw8BR0(NTzMvg~~60_35.J

But it is best to do it in a well ventilated area and dismantle you pc and clean the pc components one by one. Also,you can try take a really deep breath,swallow all you saliva and blow out the dust.
