Hey all.... Quick question... I have the Cooler Master HAF and as you know there are lots of holes for air to circulate... the negative is after 1 month the computer has accumulated a lot of dust.. it seem like it is time to clean it.

 

What are peoples best methods for getting rid of dust.

 

1) Out of the fans.

 

2) Off the precious components

 

3) Out of the fans on the CPU cooler

 

I have used the compressed air thing in the past but always seem to squirt liquid instead of air and I wouldn't want it to mess up the computer.

 

Sooooo what are people suggestions and ideas.

 

Thank you so much. You all rock!

You know those little compressor pumps that people buy to blow up air mattresses when they go camping? Those rocks. 30 bucks.

There are currently no official filters for the HAF but many people use a pair of ladies panty-hose as filters

That's why I love my Lian-Li.... It came with actual filters, that can be easily removed and washed.

or you could just get one of those tools that they use to dust off glasses, not sure what theyre called, has a plastic bubble on one end and a nozzle on the front and you squeeze it to shoot air across whatever you want, works well for smaller components, as well as motherboard/ram dimms
