    Default How do you clean youre rig?

    Just like it says guy's. Last night I spent 4 hour's tearing down my rig and cleaning it.

    Use a small compressor and blow out your system every 3-4 weeks, which will prevent any future build up.

    I use a soft bristle paint brush and my Sears Shop Vac. (set to blow air with a concentrator tip)
    I use it every 4 to 6 weeks, or if I happen to look inside and see a dust buildup.

    you should all seriously consider regulating the intake ports with filters

    makes a HUGE differance on the volume & thickness of accumulation
    also if the enviroment the PC is kept in is regulated it incures less accumulation
    think of th boy who lived in a bubble
    it kept him un contaminated
    learning is good
    understanding is better
