You can use a dyson but be very careful not to dislodge anything. A set of small nozzles can be useful for getting in between the cards and in close to the chipset and graphics card fans. You might be able to get some from Maplin or similar for not very much and they'd be preferable to digging in with the end of the dyson hose :-)

For months my PC has been without one of the side panels cos I was too lazy to put it back on when I was twiddling with the innards. I am not fond of housework so there is a fair quantity of dust residing on top of everything, and as my cat likes to sit beside me when I am on the PC, there are more than a few cat hairs in there too. I am amazed that the PC still works, to be honest! I noticed this morning that PC World has opened a branch near me so I popped in looking for a little vacuum cleaner to clean my PC. I am sure you used to be able to get such things but all I got was blank looks. One chap told me, however, that I could use an ordinary Hoover to do the job. I had already considered this but thought it might be a bit risky. Can any kind soul tell me if it is OK to use an ordinary vacuum (I have a Dyson) to clean inside my PC or should I get in there with a small paint brush and sweep the stuff out? Or should I just turn the unit round the other way so that I don't see the dust anymore? Ann ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
