We should collect dust and use it as a source of renewable energy since it seems to exist no matter what.
Buy cheap filters for your intakes. Haven't had to clean my computer in a long time, no noticeable dust in it at all.

Compressor + air gun makes quick work of any dust that's in it.

Swissy88: Compressor + air gun makes quick work of any dust that's in it.
I used to do this, but the problem is that the compressor just blows the dust out of your PC into your room and up onto your desk, which just means you need to do more dusting.

I now use these:

Which are expensive but really good, once the dust is on them it sticks so you don't have to worry about your cloth just moving dust around.

I've read that you aren't supposed to use vacuum cleaners inside a computer because of static.

The same as your car m8, at least once a month... check oil and tires, clean the area around your pc weekly, dust of the outside protective mesh etc etc

i think it bepands a lot on the type of vacuum cleaner (and country) so far i know EU vacuum cleaners are made of Type 2 electro device meaning static discharge is absolute not possible. (the hose) is also made of hard plastic.

if yours is made of steel or metals i would not suggest you use that near your expensive computer.
I use toothbrush to clean cooler fins and fans, after that I use this product: ED500 is the model number, name is Electric duster from metrovac. Hope this helps.

*facepalm* That's why you do that outside of the house.

Disconnecting my computer and taking it all the way outside is too much effort

bought some of those canned compressed air.. cans and almost shat my pants after the discovery you had a couple of methods using those cans without creating condensation. luckily, this was during the summer period, the only annoyance outside some hummingbird hawk moths (Macroglossum stellatarum) were teens trying out their scooters

cleaning PC takes to much effort as well... but it is best to do it every now and then
A new (unused) 1/4" paint brush, or a small, long bristled artist's brush work's really well for cleaning components on the main board and graphics card. Letting it all fall to the bottom of the case, then hoover (vacuum) it up with the brush hose attachment. and wipe with a slightly damp soapy cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth, and finally buff with a dry, lint free cloth...
