Tips for cleaning out computer?

Trolls.. wouldn't a hair dryer have a really great chance of causing static electricity and the heat would probably damage things also.

Not if you hold down the cold button. :O

Seymour's got two dogs

Normally they receive a good blowing once a month

Wow lucky dogs...

Uhm, I use compressed air. I've seen that used at a couple of stores already. Stronger than a hairdryer if you can focus the blow. Also, I vacuum some parts first, like the bottom of the case or some of the fans. That way I don't need to clean the room afterwards (too cold outside to clean it there).

Use a wetnap.

I just cleaned my video card. I opened it and the heat sink was full of compact dust. Couldn't play any game with out my video card going at at least 70celcius. I dropped a good 15 Celsius just by opening it and cleaning it. I bought a small air compressor too so I don't have to buy any more air cans. Works great but it take a bit more time to clean since I have to recharge it constantly.

Canned air is good if you don't want to buy an air compressor
