A little spring cleaning

I love filters, but cleaning this Silverstone Granada GD05 is a pain in the ass. This has been the best HTPC though

If you dislike cleaning it then maybe think about putting those filters on the outside of the case so the fans don't get dusty then all you need do is give it a vacuum and the dust is gone

xvi · May 26, 2015

Yeah. Slightly surprised they don't have filters on the front. Why let your fans get all dusty?

duh that dust, i always prefer filter in front of fan, coz it would keep the components behind it clean

Probably because, if you look at the case, he probably can't put them on the outside. The case has raised metal grills there. The filters would be sitting away from the frame and air could just go around them, even if they could be attached (magnetic?).

Of course you can always dremel them off.

Or he could go like this Case>Filter>fan instead of Case>Fan>Filter

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Makes it all that much better when you come back.

Did you lose alerts or the actual subscription?

If you ignore a thread it goes away. Not sure how long or how many post you don't check on. But it will definitely go away

I always try and talk people into buying a third party tower cooler because of that one reason ^ stock intel coolers are carpet makers

Maybe she's a big FAN of dust. Maybe she's a dirty kind of girl. Perhaps her story is SHROUDed with mystery. I think she.. um.. she, uh.. I haven't had enough coffee to think of any more puns.

Sig rig was in desperate need of a cleaning. The shot of the radiator is actually after I blew it out. I wish I had a video of that process, but here's what it looked like from a distance.

How much time did it take to accumulate this amount of dust?

I have an old toothbrush I use for cleaning things like this.

Now I wish I'd tried that. I blew it out with an air compressor, ran it under hot water for a bit, then blew it out again to try to quickly remove water. It's drying near a window now. It looked decently clean, but I'll leave the final judgement for when it dries.

Eeerruuummm.. Year-ish? I'm honestly not sure at all. I'm REALLY lazy sometimes.

I only brought it down because the WC pump was starting to throw a tantrum.

Found this on Imgur.

I have an old trusty laptop that I take with me when I head out to do repair jobs...I'd really like this turned into a wallpaper. It would be perfect...for making some of the people I run across not feel too bad. Can't count how many times I've heard...."you're supposed to blow these things out?"

Best,
