Buy pic related, its $50.
Get some Cyberclean too, that stuff is great for puling dust away from all the inboard components.

I dust my PC every 2 months or so, take it outside to minimize the dirt.
I clean the air filters once a month or so.

Once a year or whenever I upgrade something, remove all the major components and go over everything with CyberClean

Just gotta watch the power of it with gpu fans and stuff, it could damage them.

I work in a dusty warehouse, and I need to clean the PC stations there on a regular basis. I blast them while they are on, and spin the their fans up to some jet noise level. Been doing this for over a year. Never damaged a PC, and never broken a fan. Infact we had zero PSU fan failures in the last 8 months since I started cleaning the PCs like that on a regular basis. When I first started there we had a PSU fail once a week.

I mean I wouldnt do that to my PC, but so far so good.

I'm a recovering inhalant abuser, this picture I think may have finally made me stop caring and never again solve my problems in such a way, I can smell the additive in this can to prevent humans from inhaling it, it is so bad, I can't.

>How does /g/ keep it's equipment clean
I don't.
Once every 6-12 months my CPU will start overheating and giving me frozen screens, and I'll take that as a cue to vacuum a bit.

also case filters

you can buy reticulated polyurethane of varying pores per inch (ppi). it's like fish tank filter and if you can find a plastics shop nearby you can get it in bulk, like a 12'x12' sheet.

For computer air intakes in a welding shop I found 80ppi to be the sweet spot between doing an ok job and airflow and the insta-clogging of higher ppis.

my pcs at home have the same but for cathair reasons.

>talking about zap vs quench polyurethane manufacturing processes = serious nerd cred with engineers for no reason I can ascertain.
