hello guys ! once again i need your help to clear my doubt ........

my PC is getting very grimy and the innards of the case are full of dust.
I would like to know how to clean it WITHOUT FRYING MY components as I have already lost a RAM module once .:cry:
I also saw that PC Maintenance Guide forum :shock:,.... but wouldn't dare do so, 'cause he was using brushes which might create a lot of static electricity !


So can anybody tell me how else can I do it ...??? can i get some compresses air cans in India. if so where??

thanks for the help ! :-o

Use a compressed air can, which you can pick up from a hardware store. I recommend using a cloth to wipe the grime off the cabinet innards and use the air can. You can also use a vacuum cleaner. Just use the blower and do not direct it too close to surface components on the mobo.

^Do post back how you did it. Maybe you want to send us a couple of pics before and after. We might find some use for them, or it'd be interesting for the forum itself.
