"Tissue"?
Is this as in toilet tissue, Kleanex Tissue or handkerchief-type tissue?
As for the first two- these are definatly NOT lint free, but 100%cotton tisses should be fine (I use an old school shirt I still had lying around- after 5 years of not going to school).
As long as its mostly cotton then you'll probably be fine.

I better add that thats based on my own experiences- there may be a better way, but if your in a rush.. it'll do.
{EDIT}
As a matter of curiosity- how have you managed to hang a case fan onto an IDE cable?

Q-tips are lint-free AFAIK. I've used them for years without issue.

Are they? Q-tip's are cotton buds you use to clean ears with arn't they (we dont have that brand over in the UK), I tried a couple when I was re-installing my Northbridge cooler, the cotton fell to bits almost immediately- they are OK for getting into tricky areas but I wouldnt use them to clean an entire HSF/ CPU- you would go through a whole packet in no time.
But like I said- they are fine for tricky areas and fine work.

Thats what I want to know, the positioning might be great for northbridge cooling (for my set-up anyway).
But how does he not get stuff caught/tangled/sliced..?

Microfiber, the stuff sunglasses' bags are made of, would be best. Totally lint-free.
