Computer Is in Service

[Nilesjones]

Hey guys, I haven't been on BF3 in a few days since my computer is being serviced. I took everything down to the bare bone and cleaned it with a few dust cans. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to properly manage the cables. I got a new desktop though. Someone had an old one that they were going to get rid of. It had a floppy drive on it and had 4 gigs of RAM. This thing is a great collector's piece. Anyway, I should be on BF3 soon.

I clean mine with a small paint brush. It might be the OCD in me but I clean the living hell out of my radiators.

I used to clean mine with Q-tips. Luckily my intake fans have filters on them that are working well.

Air cans, paint brush. q tips... pfft. Buncha Nancies. You mullets need to get what I have.. Industrial grade 125psi air compressor. Blows dust bunnies all to hell.

Air compressors can have moisture in the lines.
Try a leaf blower.

Phantom is just used to sucking away the ......dust.

Yeah I'm back on it now. It wasn't just about managing the dust, it was also about managing the cables. I still can't work well with this Phantom case. Phantom cases suck horribly, but speaking of sucking. I'm hoping to find an anti-static vacuum cleaner instead of wasting money on stupid dust cans that just move the stuff around. I'm sure it would work better on the heat sinks as well. I had to remove an FBI virus from a neighbor's laptop the other day which set me back from putting my room back in order. I should be okay now though. I will see you guys on tonight.

FBI virus?

FBI virus - infects in order to extort money

Here's a nice description -
(Details here http://monroe.patch.com/groups/busin...ents-computers)

"A growing number of people are turning on their computers only to have what looks like an FBI webpage come up and effectively lockdown their machine. Those with a camera on their monitor see live video of themselves seated at their desks, and a message informs them they are in violation of U.S. codes or, worse, that they were involved in criminal activity — typically involving child pornography."

ahh ok. Can't you just put it in safe mode and run an antivirus?
