***And NOW, the REAL Scoop***
My now retired H-P desktop was a real dust magnet, even though I regularly vacuumed the case's air intake ports. Here's my periodic maintenance method, using the air compressor with a long hose and an adjustable pressure nozzle.
1. Close all programs then remove all cables.
2. Carry desktop to the garage and place it on a rigid worktop just outside of the main door entrance, to keep dust outside.
3. Remove 4 screws from 3 sided metal housing then lift the housing off the framework.
4. Using wood pencils or same diameter plastic rods, insert 1 into each fan blade housing to keep the blades from spinning. DO NOT USE METAL!
5. Starting at the top, slowly move the nozzle, allowing just enough air pressure from the nozzle to blow the dust off and into the neighbor's yard. DO NOT TOUCH ANY COMPONENTS WITH THE NOZZLE!
6. When the dust stops, remove all fan stoppers then re-attach the outer casing with 4 screws.
7. Return the unit to work area, then properly return cables to correct slots.
8. Not an obligation, but I use this time to run all anti-virus and clean-up software. When they're done, I re-boot the system and it runs as smooth as a spanked baby's butt!
