How often do you dust your PC?

Will E Wonka

After watching LInus new video. It got me thinking that his PC was damned dusty he must have not dusted it that often. I usually dust mine every three months and it rarely ever gets any buildup. How often do you guys dust yours?

I buy new components fairly frequently, so whenever I'm installing a new part, I clean everything then.

Monthly usually. I have dust filters over everything so it's pretty clean.

use to do a light blow out with a vacuum that has reverse on it about once a month but since I got an air purifier in the room now which reduces dust a ton I do it about every 3 months.

2-3 months with occasional cleaning in between of the main front intake dust filter as I can remove it without opening the case.

 

Like Linus does in the video I use an air compressor. Before anyone says it, moisture build up in the compressor isn't a problem if you know what you're doing an how to minimise it. If you're still worried you can buy a moisture trap.

When I see a change in temps, or until I see the dust caking up.... No case here.

 

Got my computer in May, cleaned it last month.

I rarely dust it out with compressed air because I have the CM 690 II Advanced it has built in dust filters

When I notice its dusty or if the dust police is in town.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.
