So i've had my level 4 (ultimate) vanquish 5 for about four-to-five months now and i've been putting it under some serious use. Playing games like Ark: survival evolved on Epic settings and recently blasting almost twenty hours of overwatch since the launch of it. So far it's preforming beautifully, though there is a dull pulsating strip of orange-ish led's near the back vent that came on one day so i'm curious to what those are exactly.

Overall i'm extremely happy with the computer and only wound up dropping two grand for it, a 24inch monitor and a high end keyboard/mouse.

Also what would, if anybody can help here, be a good way to clean/dust inside of the case? and any tips on cleaning out the filter on the front of the case for the intake fans would be nice as well, this baby heats up a fair bit and i'm kind of nervous about that!

As requested...

Here is something I posted here....

Step by step with no pictures... http://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/how-do-i-open-and-clean-my-vanquish-lvl-4-tidf24355-kwffascia/

Here's one with pictures of the clips and tabs that db188 referred to... http://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/removing-dust-from-the-mesh-filter-on-vanquish-tidf22849/

Now, as I've mentioned earlier, as that front fascia is all one plastic piece with the mesh glued on, I take it off and run it under water to get all the little dust bunnies out of there. Just make sure that it is completely dry when you put it back. (PSU filter too.. underneath)

Hope this helps. Enjoy your machine.   


Here is another thread about cleaning. This one really focuses on the Metro Vacuum that ArkansasWoman has introduced to us all. This little cleaning machine has paid for itself twice over now for me.

Any other questions, just let us know.

Yes that Metro Vacuum that Snaike linked is an awesome machine, it is an electric duster and it works amazingly. I highly recommend it

I've got this also on the recommendation of ArkansasWoman and Snaike (of the no comma clan). It is terrific and very powerful!!
