How do you clean your PC (Just for fun)

[Briggsy]

I use a bike pump with a small aerosol can straw attached to the tip. Cheaper than using cans of compressed air

 

bellows with the aerosol can straw siliconed into the end works as well.

i haven't in 4 months(approx) and this is what it looks like( i'm away just now and this is the most recent pic)

i use a hand pump that was for inflating footballs and an atachment that makes it look knida like this 

it works surprisingly well if you give the handle a good push and has plenty of pressure if you put it close to the component.

I dont....

I just dip it under a bathtub full of water every now and then and the dust falls right off! then I put my rig in a different tub of rice!

My dad always taught me to use a vacuum when the PC is off. As far as I know, it is the most effective method I could use. I've always done this and my pcs work at significantly lower temps depending on the level of dust in them before and after.

You're supposed to clean them? News to me.

 

EDIT: And my Dell is still plenty clean.

I, too, have to fill car tires from time to time.

Just because of this thread I am going to rinse out my dust filters tonight. The interior is still pretty dust free. Positive pressure FTW!

Cleaning out my PC is one of the things I do to relax. So I take my time and strip it down and clean the PCBs with anti-static brushes and the non electronic components with a little Invisisble Glass and a microfiber towel. Heatsinks may get a quick burst of compress air. I just get into a bit a zen moment and forget everything else.

Car tires? More like running air tools. Goes up to 100psi. Only problem I have with using it is the moisture in the lines from condensation.

Air compressor all the way

[Jambls]

Okay then.

1. Take computer apart.
2. Wash with arm soapy water.
3. Put computer back together.
4. Turn computer on so the heat from the processor dries the insides.
5. ...
6. Profit?

Just a little air compressor for me

I clean my computer about once every 4 months using a compressor. Just remember to do it in a well ventilated area(read: outside) and to bleed out the water once in a while and it does the job wonderfully.
