Cleaning PC rig

[1depp1]

hi all, i live in malaysia and the ambient temps here is like;

31C at sun up
and 29 at sun down.

hot temps means hotter pc, and heats up more dust because bacteria = dead skins = sweats,and biology stuffs, etc2..
even my friend's Corsair Carbide 500R also provides no answer to freaking malaysian dust...
the filter gets clogged up severely every 2 weeks.
and, the dust usually outsmarted the filters and mindblowingly forms severely on the pc components every month...

so, any suggestions?
vacuum?
compressed air?
brush?

it's really crazy here, the dust appear severely after just cleaning it the day before.
(room's clean, mopped, broomed every time...frequently perhaps, so impossible room's the cause)

just wondering what's the attitude of american dust?
is it just as ultra-stubborn like malaysian dust?

Pick a tower with good dust filters on it(some are removable and washable).
compressed air is the way to go, you run the risk of static damage with vacuum/hoovers.

hmm... maybe i should tell my friend about upgrading his mid twr to full twr for better dust management..

but,

he doesnt like large lugging towers...how?

I guess it need not be a large tower. Aside from that, the only thing I can think of is to avoid using fans. Water cooling etc... but this might be abit over the top just to save time cleaning it with cans of compressed air

Good luck.

compressed air is the way to go (and not a can of air, but an air compressor @80psi)

hmmm... maybe water cooling would be better choice for dust management right?
less intake fans = less freaking dust enters...
what do u guys think?

Maybe a whole room air filter/cleaner is what you need. How much do you want to spend on this problem?

Americans are somewhat week, and suffer from allergies so there's quite a market here of air cleaners to get rid of allergans. Maybe that will help your computer (and you as well).

In the old days, they used to use pantyhose around the whole computer in tough climates. although that was more to prevent actual bugs.

lol, a whole room full of air filters... reminds me of a quarantine zone....haha..
yea, but anyhow, maybe me n my friend will try and mod his pc case, so as to fit many filters...
