May I ask if there are other people who handle the PCs in your office? I'm thinking that these wiser people who opted to use air filters, being mindful of cleanliness, have also availed of some kind of a regular PC cleaning service. BTW, I believe the proper term is "air purifier" or "air cleaner". Come to think of it, our PCs function very much like air purifiers, they suck air in, filter the dust with the mobo and other components inside, and then spew cleaner (and warmer) air out the back. peace! -eric
well there is a cleaning service but they don't open the PCs. Only I do very occasionally, to change a CMOS battery or whatever. The difference in cleanliness is pretty striking. You can wipe your finger on the bottom area of the casing and you won't get anything, its really clean. http://kikay.exchange.ph http://mom.exchange.ph http://movie.exchange.ph http://basketball.exchange.ph ======================= Make life easier for Webmasters! http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=user/register&r=137994
