Man, you and I have been telling people that for years here and yet it seems we're still the only ones that use them, lol

easy to do and cheap to source, especially with a woman in the house, why bother using anything else?

These Scotch Brite pads also make decent filters

Available in a variety of sizes and colors too if you look around a bit

I love finding grimy computers. I blow them out, strip and wash them like new.


I gave my friend a restored system and then he gave it to his friend when he got a laptop.

I've used those before. I found pantyhose to be cheaper and easier to work with.
Not to discount those Scotch Brite pads, they do an excellent job.

this might sound funny, bit i removed the filters from my cabinet. the dust just passes through. filters just get clogged with dust and stop functioning. specially un-removeable ones.

No, I'm sorry, this is the first step:

I f'n hate spiders! In fact this should probably be done to the whole house, just to be safe.

That looks like something a woman would do, because of their love of cushions.

Copper shim? Cushions? Copper Cushion shim? WIN

The worst one I came across was when I was buying a HP laptop to repair and sell. Everything was supposed to be ok with it apart from the keyboard was missing and so was the DVD and hard drive that's all fine and replaceable I thought. So I ordered all the new parts and a new quad core for it and once they arrived I started to strip down the laptop and as soon as I took the top case I could see it blue/black coloured MOULD!!! It was everywhere and had started corroding the motherboard that greenish colour copper goes when it corrodes. It was properly nasty I had to scrub the motherboard and case with a toothbrush and water to try and get everything. My best guess is that a can of beer got emptied inside it and they didn't know how to take it apart so took the hdd,DVD and keyboard off to hide the damage. I wish I had a photo.

You have to physically put that link in to your comments every time, so either you're a spammer (I sure hope not), or you're new and dont know where the signature edit function is. I'll assume you're just new, so here's the link to edit your signature, so you can put that link of yours in the right place, and look less suspicious.

Here's an old pic of my MSI Twin Frozr R7950 w/ Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer. Was used for Bitcoin mining for several months with light cleaning in between. The photo below is when I hadn't cleaned it for about 2 weeks.

After cleaning it with my Metro Vacuum ED500:

oh well its not from me but from a random WTF computer post on facebook

hum ...
at last the owner has the reason why his fan stoped working ... and judging by the lizard look ... it has been a long time before he'd notice it ...

i posted it somewhere else but thanks to Random Murderer now i know that topic
i had many computer and many dust problem but now i dont have any i learned the lesson and unluckly i didnt take any pics of them ... but i might have some pic of gpu i brought for cheap and surprise i got when i dismantled them to clean and refresh TIM...time for diging thru imageshack pics and BRB.

1st a generic Nvidia 9800GT 1gb from HP

and the one who sold me this stated "not working anymore overheat like mad, dunno why"

2nd ASUS Radeon 4870 512mb same excuse for "non working state"

As i said in nostalgic hardware club ... DONT CLOSE YOUR COMPUTER CASE IF YOUR CAT IS MISSING!!!

also ... buisness class dont mean no cleaning needed but its far better than some comp i've seen here...

HOW the F@&% do you get a lizard stuck in your fan and not feckin know about it until it's a mummified husk

i absolutely dont know either ... just like : HOW CAN YOU CLOSE YOUR CASE WITH A CAT INSIDE! ok im joking but the amount of fur i found inside those 2 card tells me the cat wasnt outside!

 

[Athlonite]

yeah the cat fur thing happens alot when you own a cat and don't have fan filters
