Dust. I'm talking about dust. My PS2 always seems to have dust all over it and I'm concerned it might be clogging up the gaps, and from an aesthetic point of view it makes the sleekiness of the PS2 look crap. Plus, no matter who many times I clean it the problem is never solved. Ah well, guess I'll just have to live with it, unless...

Maybe that cos it's black it shows up the dust more than the old grey PSone. Try opening some windows in your house. :)

Hooover the house more often then there will be less dust around !!

Go and buy some anti static cleaner and give the PS2 a gentle wipe with it, dust is attracted to the static charges which builds up around electrical devices. Cleaning with anti static wipes should help the build up.

I haven't cleaned mine since I got it launch day, perhaps I should have a peek round the back and see what the situation is like.

Mine just sits in a TV cabinet so I very rarely take it out, well only to plug the surround sound optical lead in and then it's just put back in its place and used.

I tend to find more dust underneath it. Dunno how it gets underneath mind. Oh....and its always clogging up the grill at the front so i get the battery powered thing from my mums draw (hoover stupid) and use that. They're ok but they dont get that annoying stuck down type of dust up.

I would say be careful to anyone who plans on using a hover on their PS2's fan. If the hover blows the fan in the opposite direction it normally spins, it can knacker the motor of the fan, stopping it from working. The result will be an over cooked PS2.
