Big Fuckin Deal. Even a kid knows how to keep a PC clean. You think so? Well, read this. The parts that get more dirty on a desktop PC are your keyboard and mouse. Any part that your hands touch get dirty, and any part that your hands dont touch get dusty.

For the heavy typer like me, the keyboard always appears to be polished. But it is not the matte that is made glossy, but its oil from your hands. That needs to be cleaned. If you dont have an expensive keyboard, it is advisable to replace your keyboards once in 3 months. If you have an expensive keyboard, $50 and above, then, you need to take good care of it. It is, after all, $50.

Dust gets beneath the keys, so removing the keys one by one, cleaning below and replacing the keys is a hectic job, but if you think its worth it, you could do it. Otherwise just clean the top of the keys with some surface polishing liquid.

The base of the mouse always gets dirty. Something sticky always forms at the resting points of the mouse. That needs to be cleaned. Ball mouse are extinct. If they were there, you would have had to remove the ball and clean the rollers that would be inside it. Now, you just need to clean the lens.

Do this once in a while, and you will find things working perfectly.

The keyboard dust removing vaccuam cleaners never work. So dont bother wasting money in that. Only manual cleaning helps.

If you have got your CPU in a dusty place, you certainly will find dust. And dust is not good for the motherboard and any device that is inside the cpu. If dust accumilates too much around the fan area and if it stops, you will never know but hear a small explosive sound, and your pc will go blank. If you open the cpu, u will find a cracked and smoking processor and a stopped fan.

Dont blow. Use a clean white cloth to remove all dust from the insides and all the parts.

It is always advisable to use dust covers on the PC whe its not working. Or if you are a guy like me, who lets his computers run round the clock, you cant do that. So find time when you are free to dismantle the cpu, and dust it.
