Ridding PCI cards of dust
I've got a computer where all of the horizontal cards, such as the video card and sound card, have a lot of dust on them. What is the safest way of cleaning these cards? I'm leery of taking a vacuum cleaner to them for fear of static, so is blowing compressed air the only option? Or are there special vacuums or vacuum brush attachments that can be used? Thanks.

You are very right not to use a standard house vac... static city!!
I use a soft bristled brush and a bit of lung power when I cant get a can of general purpose compressed air. Not the wisest but it works. I believe there are special vacuums for this purpose too but would you buy one? i doubt it really unless you were in business. |

I'd recommend canned air to clean it off, then just clean it off the bottom of the case.
