A PC full of filth! - YouTube

I don't know what to say?

That is why you clean PCs outside =p

That is why I vacuum the heavy dust out first... Sure a vac can cause static shock, but that's why you use metal hoses/wands that are grounded to the case.

Meh, I have used a vac for years and never shocked any parts.

I have on a very strange occasion, but only due to dust, dry air, and me using plastic wands. Was enough to burn out a stick of RAM, since then, metal wand only, and it's grounded to the case.

If I ever build a new system again and it's over 1500 or so I'm using Amazon.com: Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac 500-Watt 0.75-HP Electric Duster 120-Volt: Home Improvement

For now I'll stick to my air compressor, never looks like that though!

they didn't remove the front cover to get all the crap out of there as well.

And here I thought my son's computer was bad! LOL

Must say I've cleaned PC's that have been as dirty as that. You would'nt believe it even if you saw it with your own eyes. :/

In 2006 I custom painted a case black for an ex (gf at the time) of mine then slapped a PC together so she could game on it. Earlier this year I actually got it and most of the components back. Yea, the black is now a light shade of gray after cleaning the case out. That is vacing the dust and then using an alcohol/water mix spray with a cloth to clean it. Some how the dust was so bad it penetrated the clear coat and stained the paint job. Turrable. Oh yea, reason she stopped using it. The dust was so bad it literally stopped the CPU fan from spinning so the CPU died from heat.

Never had that before.
