How often do you open up the case to clean

[SkinToxicated]

Great thread. i would say maybe once a fortnight i will vacum it externally, then once a month i'll get inside and vacum (gentle with the brissle attachement) or an aircan.

how often would you guys say about taking it all apart and really bringing to how it looked when you 1st put it all 2gether?

I've heard it's not a good idea to vacuum the inside because of static discharge.

Perhaps if the case is grounded you might be alright I guess.

I clean mine every couple of weeks just after I get back after visiting home, my room is so dusty, usually only the exhaust fans run at 50%, intake fans are used rarely now because of the dust :/

I use a mix of compressed air and a keyboard brush, the air is good for the dust bunnies that build up in the heatsinks and the brush is amazing for fans etc...

I clean my rigs out every couple weeks, dust filters every few days...

I usually wait until it gets this bad

Lol, every couple of days I blast the dust out.

I used to use air cans, but it gets expensive, so I bought this baby

Wayyy too expensive, a paintbrush and hoover is all you need.

I do it every few months, but if I'm tweaking around and notice a bit of dust I'll do it then.

I tend to wipe down filters every couple of weeks. But I really need to completely dissemble, clean and rebuild mine to be honest, hasn't been done since xmas.
