ProTip: Dust filters and keep the case off the floor. First thing I did with my PC when I noticed dust for the first time was move it upwards, off the floor and onto the desktop. Space is a little less, but the lack of dust is a very welcome addition, specially on OC'd components.
I generally prefer to have my pc on my desk, due to the ease of access and dust, but my desk in rather full, but I think I must get a small bedside table to put it on or something, or figure out how to make more space on my desk
I defiantly must rig up some dust filters though
I suffer from lack of space myself, but you WON'T see my PC on the floor. No way.
Anyway, you saw my "cheap filter" option on the previous page? It really does work... :D
Pritt stick (that red glue stick you always had to have with you in Grade 1 and the same stuff that weird kid in your class liked to eat)! It lasts long enough to keep it in place until the fan it properly seated, after which you won't really care. Replace every 3~6 months as it will cover up with dust FAST.
When the stocking does come loose by accidentally.. it may end up badly if it flies into the fan.
Same story when little baby cousin Johnny crawls into your room and decides to stick his finger in the brand new 200mm Antec TriCool you just installed...
Which is why you secure it properly! :)
I've not had an issue with the stockings personally. Granted, I'm not using it anymore (my new case sports build-in removable and washable filters) but I didn't have issues with them in the +- 18 months I used the fans with stockings! :)
I opened a CRT once. Can't remember what happened after sticking the screwdriver in the backside, except waking up to a freaking out mom, a screen in the trash outside and my hair standing straight up. NEVER again.
Well cleaned out most of my Rig this weekend, didn't get time to strip it completely, but atleast cleaned most of the actual case, looks better.
I'm going to wait till my mobo arrives this week and clean the rest, atleast I managed to rearrange my desk to fit my rig on it :D
Well I got hold of one of those 600W blowers from work, it worked well :P
