AlanHo Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I opened up my case last week to fit an extra hard drive and was rather surprised at the amount of dust therein because I gave the innards a good clean only 2 months ago.The fan blades in particular were well crusted. I rather suspect that I went a bit OTT when I built the computer by adding extra case fans - it must resemble a wind tunnel in there and possibly recycles the air in the study at a high rate. Having the tower on a carpeted floor can't help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I made a small wooden plinth for my two to stand on. They are about three inches off the carpet. It makes all the difference.I keep intending to do that - but other jobs get in the way. I have already bought 4 castors for it. I have a very heavy tower and it is situated under the worktop, making it difficult to slide out. I'm sure it will make a significant difference to the dust problem and will facilitate future maintenance.I will put it on the list for next week......
