Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

You have to be careful vacuuming a computer, as most vacuums build up a static charge, which is NOT good for electronics.

If nothing else, buy an air tank, and fill it at the local gas station. A small 5 gallon tank should be good for a few blowouts.

I use a portable air compressor myself, and use an airgun with a small enough tip that I can put it between the fan blades to hold them still while blowing out the innards.

For a full cleaning, you really have to open it up and use compressed air.

this is true I never vacuum out the inside only blow it clean static is your enemy

That might just work. Would like something cheaper but its better than spending a fortune on the canned stuff. Canned air!!!! Almost as bad as bottled water!!! LMAOLMAO next they will have a jar of sunshine!!!

I had a quart can of dehydrated water once

directions were:
fill can with water to reconstitute
add extra if you want it more dilute

My cousin stores his air compressor in our garage and I've been tempted but its way too big to store in the house and I have around 20 pieces that need cleaned. Unless they have something thats small and portable. Of course if I quit using the canned air on the animals buts when I sneak up on them it might last longer!!! LMAOLMAO

my pc is next to a window so I put a fan in the window blowing out when I dust the pc out.

most of the dust gets blown right out of the house
Thats a good idea!! I have stuff in 3 locations but non of them near the window. I like to leave the window open when it rains so I can hear it better and I love the smell of rain. i have really beautiful fancy shower curtains on my windows but you would never know that is what they are.

Generally not a problem. Use a brush attachment on the end to scrub them out and minimize time in contact with the vacuum.

I'm sure you could rig up some contraption with the vac hose and a static strap, but I've never looked into it much, since I use a compressor.

I haven't received an email from Marlboro in ages. When I go to the website, all I see is a $1 off the Special Blends. What coupons are there when you log on?

Kinda leary about using a vaccume since alot of electronics can become demagnetized and I would have to get the tool right on the parts to suck up the dust. I want to blow it out and then vacuum it up
I usually use a small, portable bicycle pump with a small piece of rubber tubing over a football needle attached to the hose--You can snip the end of needle to enlarge it and the tubing will keep any metal from touching----

You can also use a hand-pump bug sprayer with a small piece of aquarium tubing on the end to avoid static or metal touching...
