compressed gas duster

[ComputerDork]

Is this what I use to blow the dust out of my motherboard, fans, and case? I bought it at staples. Is this what I need?

 

[ptwearnhardtfan]

Yeah, that'll do it.

Yup! Just don't turn it upside down and try to drink the stuff that comes out!!!

any tips for how to dust away the dust from inside the case and off the motherboard, etc?

my computer is 3 years old and there is dust everywhere!

 

[ptwearnhardtfan]

Just watch out for the dust coming back at you. Give little bursts.

I don't know about this stuff, sounds dangerous. Says if i inhale i could die! I sprayed some on my tongue and seemed to have caught a buzz. Is there anything less harmful, my goodness.

yikes!

 

[ptwearnhardtfan]

You sprayed some on your tongue? Ha ha, excellent! I highly recommend trying it in your eyes next. JK

Well, as long as you don't spray the liquid on yourself (which is pretty hard unless you really tilt the thing), then everything's fine. I wouldn't try to get it on the computer either, though I don't think it would kill it.

That stuff = VERY COLD when coming out. Just use bursts, and don't do the tounge thing again!

I still don't feel right. What on earth is in this stuff!

 

[ptwearnhardtfan]

I think it's mushroom based.

...You passed the A+ cert, but squirted that stuff on your tounge? ROFTLMAO!!!!!!!!

*dies of extreme laughter*


Some kind of hydrocarbon... Sounds mushroomy to me too though

jig,

I just passed my A+ two weeks ago. Do you think this stuff harmed me by spraying it on my tongue?

 

[wuzzapiman]

LOL, LMAO, my friend had a super pak of this stuff, we froze EVERYTHING we could find, the bathroom looked like a vietnamese jungle after a rainfall (-30 degrees)

 

[ComputerDork]

wuzz,

did you spray in on your tongue?

I just sprayed it on my tongue for a second. I didn't inhale it.

 

[fiji]

i got soooooo much dust out of my psu im not even kidding i bet it was a cubic foot of dust

OK people.. Let's all calm down. I'm sure at one point in our lives, we took that can of compressed air and sprayed it on some weird part of our body...

*looks around the room*

What... why are you looking at me like that..? What? What?


Ok, let's not lose track here. Just make sure you scan over the warning label on the back (if there is one) and you should be fine.

Another idea (albeit a lame one) is to take it down to a gas station and use their air hose.
