Blew the dust out- way quieter!

I'm no expert, I'm basing all this on research I did when I first had to clean out my computer, but apparently that could cause more harm than just leaving it dusty. There's a potential for the air currents acting on the dust to generate static, which is not what you want inside a computer. The same goes for using a vacuum cleaner. Much safer to buy a can of compressed air, an "air duster", for next to nothing and use that. It's important to secure your fans with something like a pencil, otherwise the action of the blades spinning in reverse could conceivably generate a current.

Now I sit back and await others better versed in this subject to fall on me like the proverbial ton of bricks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
