Scooshing out your computer

i take my tower outside and use the leaf blower.

feels new every time. especially a pc sitting on carpet.

 

You know I've never ever used those air cans.......

 

I used to dust my computer out regularly. Considering how heavy my computer is and how easily the dust came back (within a week), I just stopped caring about that. So I only dust after upgrading a part.

 

I just tried to do this for the first time on my iMac.

It was kind of fail.

One of the bad things about a self contained computer.

 

Wow I have never done that my desktop and still haven't.

It blows and blows when I turn it on but, I really thought it was sorta an old computer by now since I purchased it almost 3 years ago I thought it was normal for computer it's age.

I should cut my laziness and get in there to get it cleaned.

Thanks for the tip...

 

Any suggestions on how to do this for a laptop? Mine could really use it.

 

Seconded.

 

My computer is fast...finally. Finally fast dot com!

Thanks for the reminder, I should 'scoosh' my PC too, its been so slow esp. at start up lately.

 

do you take the shell/case off to do this???

 

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to computer, but someone told me to do this because my computer has been running slow lately.

Anyway, my question is...... this actually works!? I thought he didn't know what he talking about, but wow. I'll have to do this tonight.

It currently sounds like a leaf blower if I have more than what, one window open. It's definitely annoying.

Thanks for the info!

 

thanks, da da...anxious to try to this out with a computer at home.

 

Looking back on it, I should have listened to the guy that told me to do this. He is, afterall, the IT guy at the company I work for. It just seemed so farfetched. I've had my computer for going on 5 years and I thought it was just natural for it to start slowing down.

Makes sense. Thanks for the new info!
