Anyone knows where to buy compressed Air and other PC clean stuff, such as micro-fiber cloth? I am buying canned compressed-air at Walwart at this moment. Boy, they cost at about $5 each!

Also can any smoker out there recommend practical ways of keeping PC out of cigarettes-smoke, without quitting?

Thank you for advising.

You should be able to find micro-fiber cloths at any decent photography store. I get mine from Wolf Camera (Ritz) and keep at least one in each of my camera equipment bags.

I'm assuming you mean "keep smoke out of PCs" instead of keeping PCs out of the smoke. Ever tried smoking outside?

Use the charcoal filter material that they sell at the aquarium store.

That charcoal filter could work but it'll cut your fan's CFM down to almost nothing. Plus I believe it has to be kept wet in order to work.

Seal up the computer and use watercooling? Expensive.

Dude, I smoke outside. Cigarette breaks are often good for contemplating stuff. When you are away from the PC, it's amazing how obvious things become, when for the last 10 minutes you've been puzzling over it.

I think your stuck matey!
Cigarrette smoke particles are extreemly small, of micron size or less, and arnt going to be picked up by any normal filter.
Like someone else said, a activated carbon filter would pick smoke up, but the filter would reduce airflow to practically zero in your case as its so dense.

Best to smoke outside.

Actually you could get an Ozone filter and it would kill all the smoke particles.. but it's pricey and usually smokers are bothered by the extra O3. So it's not really practical.
