A computer with no build consideration for dust is a problem for offices everywhere, worse in workshop settings and\u00a0can be\u00a0very uneconomical because hardware or computers need replacing too often or short of expected life span. However, the two computer interiors in the image above are from home offices in the suburbs. Cleaning dust from a computer using canned air is not advised because most types of canned air are not air, but chemicals that create air pressure which in our experience can also be hazardous to the frail electronics of computers if turned on an angle. Vacuum cleaners\u00a0are probably the least effective way to clean dust in a computer.<\/p>\n

Minimizing dust build up in computers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In heavy dust prone areas dust safes are available that are expensive, imported hardware.\u00a0But for\u00a0small home based business, workshops and trade shops dust can be minimised with the concept of positive air pressure<\/em>. This is possible with small tower PC’s (laptops are more prone to dusty demise and cannot be cleaned easily).<\/p>\n
