Whats the proper way to clean out the inside of my case?

[Hanzou]

I loked inside my incase and there is a lot of dust balls in the van covers and all over the wires and cards etc. What is the best way to clean out the case? I was thinking compressed air would be good.

a serious big amount..? I'd use a wand on a vacuum with an eye on things and staying well clear of loose wiring...I try not to let my case get like that..inside my yr and half old case..pic

One of those can's of Compressed air will do just fine.

Better then risking static by using a wand on a vacuum.

I use a soft toothbrush to first loosen the dust. Do this outside, of course.

I take the cages off and even the the heatsinks, if needed. By using the toothbrush, I avoid any static from a vacuum cleaner. As you go along, just blow away the dust.

It's amazing the little places the brush can get to.

I usually vacume it out, then use a can of compressed air to get into the hard to reach stuff.

The method that use is blowing with my mouth. Sure you gasp for air afterwards, but you save money! Vacuum uses battery or electricity and compressed air costs money.

I use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out, and a vacuum to suck up the dust that's flying through the air =)
