I have heard that you can get a specialsied PC vacuum cleaner that you can safely use to clean the inside of your PC. Does any1 know where you can get them?

Here you go

Looks great! Where can I get it!

Yeah they're useless. Compressed air and a paintbrush is the best way. Make sure your house is cleaned regularly and have fan filters on and the problem isn't as bad then either.

Buy an air bed pump from that high street shop they work an absolute charm for pc's £20 for a semi decent one but the best thing you will ever buy.

This is the one I use £22-99 it's superb for cleaning pc's don't be put off when used with those attachments it even blasts all the dust out of the fins of a tuniq tower, more than powerful enough and the best thing I have ever bought for cleaning pc.

Compressed air is very good and you get quite a lot from a can, I personally use a compressor which i have for work (12 bar) and that is very good but over £3000.

Yeah, the thing is you can pay about £15 for a 400ml can. I was thinking of an investment

.

I suppose upgrading from a toothbrush to a paintbrush would be a good idea too!

You're not wrong, it's pricey stuff.

That air bed pump looks like it's worth a try though.

Gundog48 · 23 Nov 2009 at 19:54

I think I will give that a go! I'm always a bit conservative with the spray, so I can really go mad with that!

Get electric pump

or you can get a foot one and get a work out and clean your pc at the same time

Joking dude, it was a joke. I just had a weird mental image going on.

Biz.Kid09 · 23 Nov 2009 at 20:08

^^Ar ok i get it now

lol was wondering what you were talking about lol
Back on topic i believe that wilkinsons have got some foot pumps in there having got one a few weeks ago or may have been somewhere else lol but they are worth a look if you have one near by

Might do that myself, I'm pretty sick of paying loads for compressed air.

Hotwired · 23 Nov 2009 at 20:26

You could always try buying actual compressed air instead of fluorocarbons in a can. Or use anything from a bike pump to a proper compressor to charge a small storage tank and use that.

Don't see the point of gas dusters unless you need to urgently create a dust cloud to hide in. Doesn't get rid of it, just blows it back into your room and five minutes later its queuing up to get back into your case.

alex24 · 23 Nov 2009 at 20:36

That's why you do it outside...

That bed pump looks like a great idea, the last time i cleaned my TRUE black i had no compressed air left, so i gave it a good rinse under the shower on power setting, few blasts with a hairdryer to dry it and it looked like new.
