my cabinet's full of thick dust! all my pc collects a thin film of dust everyday. there's no stopping it! i tried 2 clean the cabinet, but how the hell r u supposed to clean internal hardware !? please advice on how to tackle the sitch, as i cant provide my pc a better surrounding. is there some air-filter stuff available 4 not-too-many bucks??

Clean the dust using normal coloring/painting brush and if you can get a air blower (don't use hair dryer) or a can of compressed air, that would help a lot.
Which cabby do you have?

cotton cloth, be easy on parts

I use a vacuum cleaner attached with a soft brush once a month.
Hard to reach areas I use a small hard brush to get the dust fall off.

Ask a computer shop for a "laptop vacuum"

I havent tried it, just heard something abt it.

I tried that it works with usb connected power & its not so powerful to pull the dust.

isn't cleaning with a brush or cloth going to produce static charge?
all the hardware manuals warn specifically about that?

check this: *www.directron.com/cleaning.html

always wear, anti-static wristband while cleaning parts like RAM

not the pure cotton ones

instead using high pressure air do cause charge effusion, like vacuum cleaning etc .

dude! use vaccum cleaner and use the option of blower which is powerful enogh to blow the dust.
