Tech question #2: Compressed Air
Sep. 24th, 2006 10:54 pmDust is a computer's bane. I've noticed that, about every six to eight weeks, enough dust accumulates in my computer to send its operating temperature up about 20°F, and to make a noticable difference in its performance.
Currently, I'm using those cans of compressed air to clean the thing out. I can get three- and four-packs at Fry's fairly cheaply -- and it's a good thing, too, because I need about three fresh cans to get the dust out of the beast.
This is pricey and wasteful. Is there some alternative to those stupid cans? Some kind of compressor-based solution?
