dust problems

[Napster]

I recently have been seeing an unusual amount of dust in my case. The fans are dust the vga is dusty and the sound card is dusty. There is dust everywhere! In fact i havent opened my case in so long that i saw a spider inside of it! no joke. He was hiding behind my cold cathode ray and i attempted to try and smush him with a sock but he got away and has seem to have made a home behind my motherboard. If anyone has suggestions about my dust and pest problem please post.

well get a compressed air can to clean it out.. i've heard that some people use panty hose and stretch it out across the openings to block dust.. I use the black stuff that your mobo lies on when you take it out of the box.. though it seems to restrict airflow..

uhhh.. frozencpu.com - fan filters?

yeah tho.. definitely use some canned air first.....

my case has a nifty feature I didnt know about until recently it has a dust collector on the bottom of it :)

It collects there and I jsut take it out.

[StinkyMojo]

never heard of that before..

i have a filter on my case, been running for 2 years now w/o a dust cleaning, 5 months of that in an environment w/ a smoker. so yea, big vote for filters on case.

prometheus ive never heard of a dust collector at the bottom of a case? How does that work? :confused:

Yeah, my side is off right now because I haven't had a chance to put it back on because I had to mount two fans and they are yet to get on there, so I would have to say fan filters, I have those on my case and it stays quite clean.

omg are you guys serious.. dust just collects on the bottom.. and you look at it.. and wipe it off because it's gross.. :/

[Napster]

o you were joking prometheus, i thought u had some super cool custom dust picker-upper in you case that would be your slave and pick up the dust for you.

wowie :rofl:

[gnogtr]

Wouldn't that be the coolest...

[Jason425]

wow I hope I don't get that lazy.. ;)

[gnogtr]

[Jason425]

spend all that money on some robot that cleans up your dust = too rich and/or lazy :nod:
