Physically Cleaning a PC? - IzzyJohnson - Sep 12, 2017
Any recommendations on what to use to clean a PC physically. Not just the software/OS cleanup.
I am going to air dust it and use a special vacuum to get any spiderwebs and dust out of it. What else should I use?

Acetone is good for cleaning actual components, but that's really not needed. Air and a vacuum can usually get out all of the dust.

If at all possible use a vacuum with a metal nozzle, plastic nozzles can generate static as the air passes through them.
Isopropyl alcohol is also good for cleaning higher % the better.
I prefer not using acetone as it can break down plastics very quickly.
