Using a leaf blower to blow out a dusty PC

[TheStoriesGayseuss]

using the leaf blower works really good especially how u can adjust the speed on it to. i tried it out, had balls of dust inside mine but its really clean now

Now imagine what that smoke does to your lungs! Crazy how people can still smoke, gross!

is that an actual option for cleaning your computer?

@THEpanKake1 That's the point of the videos, yes.

You city kids ;) Try doing repairs out in rural environments. I think the worst I've seen was a literally 1/8" coating of dust over /everything/ (1/8" being the thinnest - there was thicker buildup on flat horizontal surfaces).

Oh, and I saw a mouse nest in a computer once. As in, a mouse had somehow gotten in and made a nest. He bit through one of the USB cables going to the front of the computer, which is why the customer brought it in (the bite caused a short so the thing wouldn't power up.)

I've seen worse than that. A friend was having trouble with theirs so I had the back off to check things out and found the PSU inlet mesh next to the processor had completely carpeted over with brown sticky dust blocking all airflow. This was causing the psu to throw wobblies when the machine was doing certain things.

I never in a million years would have thought to use a leaf blower to clean the inside of a computer. Great idea!
