What tools, items, tips etc. do I need to clean out my old Dell computer. The sucker can still play most games today, and I think the dust inside it is beginning to take it's toll.

I figure I'll bring it out to my garage and crack it open, but once I'm there I don't know what's safe to use. Any suggestions, fellas?

canned air and your fingers. dust hides in funny places though so be sure to check all over.

Standard issue vacuum with a tube attachment, canned air for the tiny areas that are hard to reach.

Don't use a brush. ;p

They say that a vaccuum hose has a negative charge near the tip when air is sucked in. I still use it though.

They say compressed air leaves a film on your parts. I still use it.

Q-tips for those hard to reach spots.

Sometimes a hair dryer (on cool) if desperate.
