How to Clean Computer Dust REALLY FAST!

[DaveSimonH]

I think when you use air canisters, or em leaf blowers(;D), you are supposed to block the fan from spinning to prevent damage.

[TheVancouverJatt]

Don't put your vacuum anywhere near your electronics lol



[djstyles07]

i believe its ah-KRon-is...not...ah-CRon-is.

[iDokie]

What is the program called?

[GaxAngel]

You need some cable ties for all them wires haha.

[VleraBrite]

@GaxAngel Pshhh cable management shmable management. It's all a waste of time. This computer has plenty of airflow and runs extremely cool. As far as I'm concerned bad cable management is good cable management. The way I see it, having more cables everywhere gives the dust a place to get trapped out in the open in the middle of the case for you to clean out easily, in a place that wouldn't harm any hardware. =]

[SamWilber]

Cant you get one of those air purifiers or something to reduce dust? Seems like it would save you guys time

[VleraBrite]

@SamWilber I have a huge air purifier in the middle of my room. In fact it technically makes it worse since it uses the power of negative ions to reduce the particles in the air. By doing so, the dust sticks to things, but it definitely makes the air more breathable.

[lravitheja93]

LOL DJ sounds like marshal in How I Met Your Mother while describing about the food from starbucks.....................­...lol

[thefuf99]

The SSD is higher capacity than your HDD? Damn that must be small HDD! Or are you running two drives in RAID and just replacing one?

[theadodge]

CAGE FREE tells you the chicken that made the egg was treated well and not kept in a cage usualy there are regulation to have that label like a certian amount of space for them to run around

[mikezard123]

Hey DJ, a few SSD Tips. First google "optimizing precious solid state storage". It's by Tom's Hardware and some of the tips are overboard, but there are a lot of good tips. (Take it with a grain of salt.)

Also, there is a bug with all the Crucial M4s (I have the 128GB) and updating the firmware will eliminate the issue. It basically will BSOD every hour after 216 days of power-on time. Just google it and update to 0309 firmware. It's safe and pretty easy. It shouldn't affect any of your data.

[C3lticno1]

I spent half an hour once cleaning all the keys on my keyboard. You'd be surprised what you find inside that.. Disgusting.

[PrOsY2]

@VleraBrite I need help! I bought a NVIDIA 8600 gts 512mb gddr3 to mount on a Asus P5VDC-MX motherboard, when I turn the computer there's no image on the screen and everything runs ok! The power supply is a old 550W without sata power plug and i use an adapter to power the graphic card. Is my motherboard not compatible or is the power supply that does not have enough power?

TeraBrite FTW!

[xin0710]

@PrOsY2 You have an 8600GTS AGP card? wtf!?

[PrOsY2]

@xin0710 Oh God i put the wrong motherboard model! It's an Asus P5VD2-MX, sorry for the mistake.

[xin0710]

@PrOsY2 In that case it should work fine. Try reseating the card and check if your molex-pcie adapter is connected properly. Those things are usually loose on old power supplies. Also check if the fan of the video card is spinning.

[TylerDPerkins]

My fat snoring pug got scared by the leaf blower (hehehe loud speakers)

[scarlton23]

There's people on the street, getting diseases from monkeys. That's what I said, they're getting diseases from monkeys. Now there's junkies with monkey disease. Who's touching the monkeys? Please, leave these poor, sick monkeys alone. They got problems enough as it is.

[TheCoolChrisShow]

DJ, isn't it bad to keep your computer on the floor? Because that's giving the dust bunnies a place to live. Oh and when you build the new PC you're gonna keep all the same hard drives? Because they're still pretty expensive because of the floods in Thailand a while back.

[Neelo16]

The rest of your covers are finally up on iTunes! :D

Everyone go buy them now!

[CaitlinJane8]

3:25 we need a Vlerabrite food/cooking show! =P

[menace6699]

DJ- Get a Drobo and stick all of you old HD'd in it for backing up. If 1 dies there are redundant copies. Look it up.

[menace6699]

I like Sabrina's hair in this video.

[sterf666]

4:45 wtf did I just watched

[sumithscorpion0]

drunkard..

[satanshollowd]

I open up my computer and give it a vac every six months ish. With high air flow cases dust builds up up fast

[InternetRacer]

You should thread something through the fan vents to stop the fans spinning if you're going to clean out the dust like that, if the fans spin faster than they are supposed to they could break, that's why compressed air is probably better as you can avoid blowing into the fans so much. Also you should try tucking some cables round the other side of the case so the airflow in the case is better and it collects less duct.

[n3oeclipse]

leaf blower on the computer seems a little sketchy but it looks like it worked well :P I usually just vacuum mine out whenever I'm having issues with overheating or when I rebuild it.

[toastersXftwX]

Do you guys leave the house?

[Jazzay2ka]

@toastersXftwX they went starbucks, so duh. 

[AnythingLoud]

also dont get the new ivy bridge processors when they first come out. bad idea. although they will be insanely fast, you're going to end up spending over $3000.

[VleraBrite]

@AnythingLoud No, the prices are listed on Toms Hardware and are similar to Sandy Bridge. Core i7 $294... Where are you getting your info? haha

[infinitejusticex2]

@VleraBrite Hey DJ do you need help getting a full build for your computer? I could help you if you want... :D I like following the bleeding edge of PC tech lol Message me if you need any help =)

[AnythingLoud]

PC for the win. my computer used to be dusty but it took a leaf blower to the mother board.

[VleraBrite]

@AnythingLoud LOL!

[logtothebase2]

Yea thanks I just did the same, the fans spinning caused a back EMF and fused the power supply, and the computer no longer boots, Plugging in caused the circuit to breakdown in the wall, and the cable overheated causing a fire, and my house burned down and now we are homeless, We are coming to live with you.

[kaskurgichan]

LOL looks like investing in a cheap leaf blower instead of paying 5-10$ a pop for cans of air is a good investment! You can always make it so your fans in computer dont blow if you are worried about ruining them i've used toothpicks and other random goodies when I use compressed air.

[THExASSASINx]

AWSOME

[mac19pm]

i was wondering were you get that dices you use for the HDD trasfur? or what it was called

-mac19pm

[Melthornal]

Hard drive has an issue? Easy: Spinrite. It is the BEST hard drive tool. It will fix every single error 100% of the time. Best tool, hands down.

PS: Getting the new processors right when it comes out is the worst idea. The first chipset almost always sucks, and then you may need to get a new motherboard just to have your computer work properly.

PS:  You have the nehalem cpu, right? The new intel chips are the update to nehalem.

PPS: quad channel ram. SO MUCH OF IT. 32 gigs, min

[dannydavidsongriffin]

i know some gay viewers would bitch and complain, and i don't even know if you do it, but i wanna see you guys get high. Im pretty sure that would be the funniest thing ever :P

[evsboy123]

can you give me recommendations on what parts to buy for a computer? my computer right now has a lot of latency when im trying to record guitar because i just got a cheap computer at the store and it has a horrible sound card. I dont want to even try messing around in it because it has a super small case.

[MrHapaProductions]

@evsboy123 What are the computer specs? And what's your budget for a new one? You don't need to go crazy with the parts you buy. Check out newegg.com. They have packages called "DIY PC Combos" that you put together. The other component you'll want to get is an audio interface. If your just wanting something basic for guitar, Line 6 has some great stuff. You can also check out Presonus. They've got some great, affordable units that will take care of latency issues. PM me if you got any questions.

[VleraBrite]

@evsboy123 If you want to reduce latency you want to look at audio interfaces.

[maor1993]

@evsboy123 Go get a firewire based card, those are the best bang for your buck, I use a focusrite saffire pro 24, it is amazingly good.

[PIXIEZDUSTY]

This made me curious about how dusty my computer of over 5 years is considering I've never made an attempt to clean it. So I just looked in some holes from the outside and holyyy shit. O.O

[Melthornal]

@PIXIEZDUSTY Thats nasty. Thats like saying you haven't taken a shower in 5 years. o.o

[PIXIEZDUSTY]

@Melthornal Naaw; I shower everyday. lolol. But now I plan on cleaning my computer cause that's freaking nasty xD.

[uzoify]

dj has the best way of explaining things.

[YelloFello15]

I bought an electric duster off Amazon. I love it. No more canned air.

[mriza64]

u guys dont even seem like a couple

[LXnavarro23]

I just went from PC to MAC today! Super pumped! Thought I might share that with you guys.

[VleraBrite]

@LXnavarro23 Good luck with that =P

[LXnavarro23]

@VleraBrite thanks!

[eddysvideos33]

@LXnavarro23 Most will agree MAC's are better, but few will argue PC's are better. I willing to bet you'll find your MAC more reliable than any PC (windows).

[ihavenousernamelol2]

@eddysvideos33

macs do not have any special hardware. the only difference is the operating system and i dont think mac os is worth several hundred bucks

[eddysvideos33]

@ihavenousernamelol2 The OS is much more stable. I understand that the hardware is really not much different, but it's all about having a stable operating system. When you have to pump out the amount i do in a work week, windows doesn't stand a chance. been there done that and Apple's OS has been flawless for me.

[evasquez]

Haha awesome, I've done this before but had to tape down the fans lol. Is that a 256GB M4 Crucial SSD?? *drool*

[agent96]

one more side note you may need to change the id and or serial # of the new hdd to match the old one to avoid windows activation the fun of calling India and other issues although your cloning software may do this also.

[VleraBrite]

@agent96 It's all good, we already got it working today, the vlog just got too long so it's spilling over into tomorrow. This vlog wouldn't be edited and uploaded right now if we didn't haha. SPOILER!

[agent96]

@VleraBrite oh sweet thats awesome so glad you got it going :)

Hello from the Tampa bay area

peace

[4445luke]

I always use my dads air compressor to blow the dust out, and i hold the fans so they dont over spin.

[MonicaMaine]

I'm surprised Starbucks hasn't sponsored you guys yet! lol

[TheMonkeyrock77]

I bought a portable Air tank that I fill at a Gas Station to blow my computer out with. It works good for blowing out DVD Player and VCR's too.

[alancooke32]

why not go for an amd bulldozer ?

[agent96]

vacuum works good if your worried about static just ground yourself touch metal of vacuum to the chassis of the case then no worries about static you like in Florida as do i you wont see much static here unless its really cold the humidity prevents static charge now is under 50% relative humility then there could be a issue another great way to dedust your pc is air compressor just hold your fans while blowing it out.dust can cause allkinds of problems along with shorting connections on mobo

[K2theSwenny]

Lol, no more coffee for Dj. You could see it affect his breathing right after he finished his coffee. :D

[MonteroErick]

no offense DJ but thats not very good cable management, but again no offense

[DaZ316x]

Is it possible to make it so dust never goes on the computer and build up? That can't be good for anything. I realize my computer has a WHOLE LAYER of dust on the fan :(

[MrBluddySkullz]

@DaZ316x

Nope impossible for that to happen :)

[RageicaNiels]

You make it sound like DJ is taking a shower several times a day

[Istenna]

Cage free eggs mean the chickens were allowed to run around free, and weren't stuck in cages their whole life :). Just in case you wanted to know DJ

[alienoutlaw3]

10:35 it is called mirroring drives

[RandomlyRandomErick]

[CaptureKara]

I think i like your new sleeping pattern! you seem to have got a lot done! :P

[SuperPRODIGY7]

[Bard0r]

@kKingModz yeah lol i know lol what lol you mean lol

[gdwatcher]

I use a shop vac to blow the dust out of our computers. It works reallly well.

[immjab]

DJ you are a computer geek! I like it!
