Cleaning PC case window

Daniel_46 · 11 Aug 2016 at 21:37

Hi guys,

What does everyone use to clean their PC case window? Currently I'm just using cleaning tissues that I use to clean my laptop screen and keyboard, they're alcohol free. Is this ok to use?

Cheers.

Why's your window getting dirty? Learn how to aim son!

Just use a lint free cloth to dust it.

Aha, my PC just looks so darn good! Cool, cheers

Paint thinners and wire wool?

How often do you dust the inside? I just purchased the CompuCleaner off amazon as I've never really liked using canned air, at the moment every month or so I'm just giving it a blast inside and using anti-static brushes around the fans etc.

I clean mine once a year with the hoover.

And here's me poking a toothbrush in there whenever it gets manky

be careful as some brushes will scratch the plastic window.

If it's acrylic then be careful what you clean it with.
Scratches easily and any solvent based cleaners will melt it.

alcohol/ipa is fine, but avoid any other solvent, especially acetone and hydrocarbons.

Alcohol free is not OK, drink more alcohol and the clarity of your pc window won't matter.

Aim away from your pc... Same goes for your keyboard!

Recently purchased one of those, great little thing. I just use a small paint brush for the fans and then alcohol wipes for the tempered glass.

This will work fine. A lint free cloth is the best.

Yeh, sure that's what you use those tissues for.

Yeah it's great, much better than using canned air and for the price you can't complain.
