How do YOU Battle Dust? We all hate dust...

I can just imagine trying to overclock it and getting it slightly wrong then staring at the bios jumper through the glass

You're supposed to point it at your skin and watch it go all funny lol

£25 works wonders powerful enough with a small nozzle attached.

I heard postive air pressure is one way to avoid dust as long as you have good filters on all the intake fans.

Personally I just give things a little blow and brush with a small paint brush, and wipe all the non electrical surfaces over with baby wipes. My case always looks pretty clean.

Positive air pressure is, in theory the best way to go. http://www.silverstonetek.com/tech/wh_positive.php

In reality, with most, if not all cases, that's not the best way to get a cool, quiet machine though.

I've also found that ionisers reduce the amount of airborne dust. Putting one the other side of the room helps. More dust falls (or sticks to surfaces) away from your PC.

Use the same thing and it works a treat

My Antec P182 with just two dust filters keeps my PC dust free, and I hardly ever hoover my room.

My pc is dust free (thanks to a big arse air compressor my old man had) but some of the components still have a layer of dust on them that even at close range the air compressor wont shift
