<< Hmm. *Shrugs* I have an upright vacuum, with a plastic extension hose, with a plastic "furniture brush" w/bristles that I vacuum my case and components with.
I actually physically touch all my cards, the mobo and the fans with the brush. VERY lightly vacuum the memory as well. I've never had a problem.
I'm very gentle and careful w/this process. i do it while seated and very carefully vacuum the components. The bristles touch just enough to un-anchor the dust and the vacuum sucks it up. **More Shrugs** no probs, clean case.
Thats not the point. When you come in contact with parts or come very close to a component, the static charge on the vacuum nozzle could discharge to components inside the computer. Electrostatic discharge can, but usually don't immediately destroy the component and effects shows up later.
