I wanna clean out my big PC because I've had it for 4 1/2 years, plus we've had 3 dogs for most of that time too.

As you can guess the state of the inside of that computer will be about a million times worse than my laptop was!

Anyway, what safe ways will there be of cleaning it all out? Vacuuming causes lots of static and I can't be bothered to use compressed air as that will result in dust going everywhere and me sneezing myself to death.

Not sure what would be the best way, and it seems that vacuuming is OK as long as you don't hold it over components for too long.

Google has provided me with an interesting solution too!

"I recon you should hire an elephant from the local zoo for the day, try and hypnotise him so that he thinks the dust on your computer is really monkey nuts and then just watch as he sucks it all up. Last time I checked it was about £2.49 to hire one for the day, much cheaper than compressed air."

Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

All he was saying is that he made a thread asking for advice on something, and you come wandering in with your "joke" (in the very loosest sense of the word) being of no help whatsoever. This isn't General Chat. People post things for a reason, not to encourage mindless, useless comments.

You're not funny. I'm glad you realise that.

Shame you have to go around like a wet wang because if it.

Just go back to having a hissy fit everytime I make a joke, you'll feel much better.

...which is your attempt at trying to tell me that I'm not funny, even though I'm not trying to be. I'm just stating a fact.

Plus why have I gotta be funny? What's wrong with just calling you an idiot? It's perfectly descriptive of you and I doubt many people would disagree.

Oh, and since when have I said that other people aren't funny. Other people are; just not you.

*Sigh*

I blatantly wasn't saying that.

Read it again.

Um, where was I trying to be funny?

I was stating that you're not funny and that your post had no relevance to the topic.

I can't see any jokes in that?

You really are a robot. If you're going to attempt insults at least try and be funny with them.

The absolute beauty is you're like a kid in a critic phase saying everything's poor but you very rarely go to the effort of trying to be funny yourself.

Give it a go yourself or shut up you wingeing wet wang of a human being.

Indeed, tights work wonders

I've got dust filters on all my fans, and they keep the inside of the PC very dust free. But, a useful tip (courtesy of Tyla if I recall correctly), is to cut up a pair of tights, and use the fabric as a dust filter.

Well I did it on one of my old machines, and it didnt cause any damage. Well I dont use that machine anymore so I couldnt care less. I cant see what the problem is if you dont touch any circuitry with the hose.
