Don;t waste any noney on cleaning kits, heres how to clean your pc on the cheap.... !!! BACK UP FIRST !!! Plugged into mains but TURNED OFF. Particulary important if you are not using an anti-static wristband. Keyboard & mouse: couple of old dry paint paint brush in various sizes and can of compressed air. spray some furniture polish on a piece of cloth and wipe a Cotton bud through the it, then clean keys. Screen: wipes are a waste of money. If you have a monitor with a coating then some wipes, example isoprol, can remove this. It happened to my camera recently, and it cost teh shop that sold me the cleaning kit more than the camera was worth to get it re-coated! So for CRT's lightly dampen a cloth and gentle elbow grease. Some say add a drop of vinegar and the like, but remember you don't want it too shiny. Inside the box: Don't use a vacum cleaner - even one of the tiny ones, most of the time they are often useless, but theres of dislodging junpers and the like. Don't blow into the case your breath contains water vapour. You can use compressed air, but if you hold the can down too long (when it's gets really cold to he touch) water vapour can form and causes drips on the motherboard. Use a paintbrush slowy and carefully. aim the cr*p downwards to the centre and wipe it out with a dry tissue. Pay carefull attention to the fans, there are often more than one, but don't prise the top of the CPU coolers to get to that if it has one, you'll break your PC. DANGER!! be extra carefull near the PSU it can still hold enough power to kill you. Outside the box/monitor/perhiprals. Damp cloth with a small amount of washing up liquid. Or use cleaning foam. Note some foams need to be wiped off after a certain time or they may mark the case, read the label extra carefully if you have a painted or hand-modded case. Mouse: wipe ball with cloth. scrap mouse droppings of rollers with one of those hooked thingys from a nail cleaning kit. wipe outside with damp cloth. Replace or wash the mouse mat. floppy and optical drives can be cleaned with a pintbrush carefully. but sometimes it's cheaper to replace them, take them apart give it a clean and re-asemble then you have a spare. Oh, and if you you break it it's your fault not mine :)
