does anyone know anything about air filters

[devonwoody]

My PC inlets are attracting a lot of dust. I consider our home average but these days you can always find dust layers especially so after a gale.

Anyone any experience with room air filters?

Not needing allergy type gadgets

Having run a collage computer network in a previous existence. I would recommend that you just open the case of the machine once a year and vacuum out all of the dust and fluff that accumulates in any equipment that runs for hours at a time with forced air cooling.
I am sure that students sit and decompose in front of pc's, we never could figure out how some of the stuff we found got inside the machines.

We run server rooms that use filters in the air con units to keep the dust down, changing then is not a nice job.

If you are set on a filter how about a nice Jet air filter bolted to the lounge ceiling? :roll:

Actually there is a porch between hall to front door that one would fit but are they sufficient for house type dust, smaller particles?

Perhaps one of those retailers who accept returns if not completely satisfied

Hi John,
My local PC man told me to lightly vac the vents using the brush attachment once A week or fortninght. I use my PC every day for business and its usually switched for about 12 hours but the regular vac seems to keep it dust free.
He also told me not to apply the vac inside the PC.

I use the vac inside the PC every few months but don't use it directly, I use a reasonably stiff but soft brush to loosen the dust on the surfaces whilst holding the vacuum nearby. I see no good reason not to do so, have done it for years. A more regular vacuum over the inlets to remove build up is a good idea. Dust when allowed to remain in situ changes it's properties and becomes more glue like, most of it is our old skin shedding... eergh.

maplin also sell an air duster, and it is very useful, comes like wd30 with a plastic tube for the finer areas too.

actually these are the preferred option in many areas these days because of their accuracy and directionality.

woody finally found my camera battery charger, so will take some photos later, and see how i can get to the next stage of regular posting
