Hey im new and  today I wanted to clean my case for the first time but as I opened it I wasnt sure how because the im a bit scared to destroy something.

Whats the best way to clean it?

 

Take everything out, toothbrush everything off.  Or compressed air if you have any of that.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

A nice can of compressed air should do most of the job. I would really clean any dust filters with a vacuum and a brush attachment, though. As for places you should really clean:

 

Under fan blades (Q-Tips)

Heatsinks (compressed air)

Case floor (vacuum and microfiber cloth)

 

And if it's really dirty:

 

Between RAM slots

Case floor and any other nooks and crannies

Behind motherboard tray (vacuum)

 

 

I clean my system out a LOT. I don't like having it dirty or with messy cable management. It's good to clean it or give routine maintenance every couple weeks or so.
