Antec 900 Dust

Usama · 16 Jan 2009 at 16:58

I have had the Antec 900 for 2-3 months now and I clean it every 2-3 weeks on the inside and outside. But the only place I cant clean is the front where the 2 fans are, it is building up a lot of dust now.

How do I clean it?

compressed can of air works best for me, then get some filters on those fans, i use an old pair of tights stole from the missus

go to shop and buy a pair of tights for a £1
put them over the front of the fans and put grills back, i have done this to mine as first few weeks my case was same but now hardly ever clean as not if any dust inside.
thinner tights are best and can double layer them and still pull air thro.

anywhere! try hardware store. quite common for a few quid.

aye as chakib said its quite cheap. Only thing to watch for is not tilting the can too much when you spray as it will spit liquid at the same time.

Get the case outside, give the air can a good shake and you will get all but the most stubborn dust out in a jiffy

I love having an air compressor with the pressure restricted

I've had a 900 for almost two years. Never cleaned it. It's a bit dusty. Life's too short to dust computers!

This might be overkill but its what i have to do as i have severe dust allergies, i get a vacume cleaner and a magnetic duster (just attracts dust) and dust and let the vacume suck it up.

Upgrade to the Antec 900 Two, thats what I'll be doing

Or just get hold of some Antec 1200 drive cages as they come with a quick release filter and fan control and will fit the Antec 900 replacing the standard ones.

OR just get the Antec 1200, sorted, close thread

I was going to get it at first but it's too big.

The 900 is just the right size.

:What about the new Antec 900 it looks just like the 1200 but the size of the 900

Antec 900's are great in cleaning your computer room, they suck all the dust and store it in the case for you to clean...

They should have rebranded the 900's to Dyson lol.
