Clean your computer day
« on: May 25, 2012, 10:42:51 AM »
Today is the international "clean your computer day".

Everyone should keep their computers tidy to avoid any excess heat. To show you an example I filmed cleaning my own computer - this is how a computer should look like after 2 years of use.

I don't buy some of the comments like "they just killed it with moisture in the compressed air."

If that was the case just having it in high humidity would kill it.

I just hold or pin the fan blades so they don't over rev. Of course I never let em get so bad that I have to spray that much air.

Never let one get that bad, but I came close the summer I decided to open the windows instead of running the a/c. Pretty sure the cleaning bills and PITA factor wiped out any utility savings I achieved.

I'm a smoker, and with 2 dogs and a cat they can get like that pretty quick. Especially if you dont have a carpet in the room. I blow mine out 3 or 4 times a year.
Much easier to just use the exhaust end of a shop vac.

Im surprised that thing still runs. I know when mine is due for cleaning as my machine starts to beep once the cpu starts running warmer then I want it

1) The link is to youtube
2) Liveleak is almost like youtube, people can send stuff there without actually 'running it' :)
3) I was only kidding, this is not my computer in the video obviously.
