Reminder about Dust
Just a quick reminder to inspect your pcs and etc for dust build up.
I forgot, and it cost me two new fans.

It's one of those enduring mysteries of life how specks of house dust could possibly stick to a fan blade spinning at 1700 rpm, and gather there the way we've all seen them do inside our computer cases!

I stuck one of these:
on the outside of my computer case and the amount of dust it collects is unbelievable.
It's magnetic so easy to remove and a quick vacuum gets it clean in seconds.

A quick blast from my compressor when I am checking the tyre pressures does the trick.
'trouble is - I always forget to take my laptop with me when I use the local garage, and I haven't got a home compressor, a standard foot pump doesn't hack it, and I never dismantle the desktop to cart into town !
I've been warned about not using aerosol cans of compressed air, 'cos of the plastic tube they use, i.e. static, but another IT man said that was a load of b****ocks, no problem and sells then for that purpose, but I decided to stick a wire up the tube, take off my rubber shoes and stand on the other end.
Paranoid ? Moi ?
Avoid imitations
I use a vacuum cleaner hose and nozzle to suck out the dust, having loosened it with a half inch paintbrush.

What would I know, I'm just a pilot ( who refuels aircraft using 10/20 ltr plastic jerrycans !
