I've just had a peek through the case of my computer and I can see that the dust of eons has lined the inside, and it looks ghastly at first glance.
I'm going to open it and try to get the hoover as close as I can to it, but should I be wary of doing that? I'm afraid of static buildup, but then the hoover hose is plastic, so there should be no worries there, right? In any case, I will keep the PC connected to the mains, but power off, and touching the case will earth me, right?
I have to do something in any case, the PC case fan has been making a noise that sounds like a hard drive thrashing about, even though the actual hard drive is silent. I think it needs a good seeing-to.
Any advice?
