Cleaning up my PC

[satanicguardian]

Hey guys, I want to give my PC a good going over - can someone provide tips to getting it nice again without damaging stuff? (I want to clean details such as capacitors on Mobo and get it looking new - whats the best way to get dust out the cracks? I was thinking paintbrush?

Compressed air and a small soft paint brush is what I would use.

If that is your computer, then I've seen worse.

Half an hour to an hour of cleaning it will look as good as new.

Yeah it's mine, I know they can get a lot worse but it's windowed and the main point of focus in the room as far as features go

I've decreased the speed of my front intake fans by about 1000rpm, hope this will alleviate the dust build up slightly, or at least slow it down
