I've heard that vacuuming the inside of your pooter is bad for your componets as it creates static. Does this apply to vacuums with plastic hoses?

I've never actually vacuumed my PC but was thinking about it. I usually just blow the dust out with my mouth, then sneeze .

One more thing: if, instead of compressed air, you mistakenly use a can of WD-40, be prepared to buy a new computer. Trust me on this.

Good link DoctorDominology, thanks. So I suppose it is ok to use plastic hoses then, just aslong as the hose does not come into contact with the components. I've never seen compressed air in-a-can being sold before. I'll have to have a look around the local hardware shops. I will give it a try when I get a spare minute. Thanks.

Dont let ANY part of the vacuum touch any part of the pc not even the bristles. What I would do is get the edge cleaning tool attached and use compressed air to blow out the dust right into the vacuum. It shouldn't be too difficult to find cans of compressed air. I've seen them at Wal-Mart.

I just throw my computer in my trunk of my car and drive to the gas station air compressor.
