Hello, this is my first build, if you can call it that. ^_^;; I'm upgrading my existing computer system which is a gateway sx (small form factor) to an aluminum full atx case, which I believe supports micro atx. My former case is dusty and needs a good cleaning, as there is a layer of dust on the motherboard and in the heat fan, which I'd like to fix before I transfer the components to the larger case. The reason I'm transferring it over to the atx case is to eliminate my system from shutting down from overheating, as well as upgrading my psu from 220w to 650w for my graphic programs, which I do heavy editing but I'm highly against using compressed air from a can. I'm up for other ways. I might buy the MetroVacuumED500 DataVac 500-Watt 0.75-HP Electric Duster 120 volt and I have a dirtdevil handheld vacuum cleaner, which I was thinking about attaching this ( Micro Vacuum Attachment Kit - 7 Piece) to clean the outside of both cases. There are No No's for properly cleaning a PC that I read about but also have problems finding solutions for.
1) My house has complete carpeting, except for linolium kitchen floors and tiled bathroom. Where am I suppose to conduct the cleaning and if I do it outside, how do I ground myself. I would most likely do it on concrete.
If I opt out of outside, sincr it's damp and I go for inside, how do I properly ground myself. Am I allowed to step on a piece of solid wood stacked since my floors are carpeted to prevent static electricity discharge, while I place my computer on the dining room table and if that's acceptable, how do I go about cleaning my Pc components without the psi to ground myself. Any help in the matter, would be greatly appreciated. My full atx case is aluminum so...even though I have an antistatic wrist band, I can't exactly attach it to the new case.
