Re: picks of the week
I wrote Jim and Josh recently with this simple suggestion concerning vacuum cleaners:
A Dewalt shop vac has a hose fitting on the exhaust side, which is great for blowing dust out of a running PC.
Saves tons of cash otherwise spent on compressed air cans.
The air velocity is moderate, and I find that a running PC’s fans help remove the dust from the chassis components.
Then, of course, one must do something about the dust that settles on the floor, but that too is manageable.
Try it!
I actually use one of these: DataVac Electric Duster. It has some serious blowing power…
Ah ha! They have looked at the best vacuum ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88iVCBe_ho8
