Evil Dust Bunnies

Over the past year or so, the sound emanating from the computer at the rents house has slowly escalated to the point of resembling  a 747 approaching takeoff.  The simplest of tasks, such as opening up a txt file in Wordpad, caused this beast to roar!  Something had to be done.  If you have small children or even step children, consider shielding their eyes before scrolling down.

The victim of unspeakable abuses

Everything appears normal...

Years of dust accumulation...

It can happen to you!

In this situation, you can do one of two things:

Buy one of those lame aerosol spray cans they sell at electronic stores.

Or you could man up and use a commercial grade air compressor!

More powahh!

*Allow your air compressor to reach a minimum of 30 psi and avoid exceeding 40 psi  unless you are attempting to blast your neighbors annoying dog with a computer.

Wear a dust mask and blast the crap out.

Now the computer can breathe again!

After

Dust is a silent killer.  Devices that accumulate an excess amount of dust may overheat and malfunction.  Every year in America, millions lose precious electronic devices to dust.  Aside from the beautiful photography, the  process took approximately 30 minutes to complete and will extend the life of the loyal computer.

God Bless
