Sparda Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 DUST! Damn dust, for ever gathering, collecting, massing. Then you look down at your computer and see a dust blocked fan grill and go "fucking dust, die you bastard die!". Is there any hope for perminantly keeping a computer dust free? (short of water cooling) Note: Would have pictures, but my camera is errmmm... missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yea, dust is a bitch You can't really ever get rid of the dust problem even if you use water cooling because basically every power supply has dust. I've seen computers get really filthy at times. Like with centimetres of dust at the bottom of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Just buy some tights/pantyhose, cut them open, and stretch them across the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbjazzman Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 A buddy of mine works for an ISP that does some tech support. Someone brought in a computer to be worked on and he said that he opened it up and it looked like a rat's nest inside, it was so dusty.

hexicon Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 We used to use early HP systems and when we replaced them we had to remove all the cards. There was so much dust it was almost like the cards were sandwiched with cardboard. I was disgusting, but humorous at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt {Undead} Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I tend to have that problem alot since i have 4 pcs in my room and a ps2 thats on 24/7 running linux, I tend to clean it out when fixing a hardware problem or upgrading hardware. Im building a new rig in a months time so any suggestions about preventing dust will come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconova Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Just buy some tights/pantyhose, cut them open, and stretch them across the hole. those I belive periodicly need to be changed... --- also really dust is just something you have to live with unless you want to build a small little vacum bot that runs around your computer 24/7 or hire or force someone/your kids to just stand in front of your case and blow out the dust (or just add that to a list of chores) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Nekid Man Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Along the lines of pantyhose you could also use those dryer sheets, should help the odor. Needs to be changed every once and a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateweb Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I once removed the sides to a box I had and screwd on bio filters from a cupple old air condishiners, thay just nead to be wiped down every now and again and you can probably uses them on the fans. I would personaly be leary about drysheets thay may be static free but thay are coted with stuff I would not want on my Curcity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
