how would i go about cleaning hardware, such as a geforcefx 5600, just the part taht plugs into the mobo? i heard alcohol would work??
 
isopropyl alcohol (90%+ pure) would be a lot better than a bottle of beer, mind. 😉
 
I rip of about a 7x7 piece of paper towel and fold it a few times then put it over the bottle and tilt upside down for about a second or two depending on the paper thickness. But a qtip might work better for what you are cleaning. I use 91%Alc.
 
I find the little lint free wipes they sell for cleaning your glasses are the best cloth to use - absorbant and no flecks left behind.
 
depends how dirty it is and what it's dirty from, I guess. only problem I've ever had inside my computer was with dust, which I cleaned using either a q-tip (for tight areas) and a vacume (for fans and the case itself)
 
good news video card is now working, bad news, rest of computer still covered in paint
gonna clean off the ram and processor, heatsinks, hopefully ill be back in buisness
