Trying to vacuum down in heatsink crevices I can't get there.

Any caveats with just taking an air hose to it ?:-)


Constrain the fans from getting spun up. If they have coils,
and there's any residual magnetism, they make nifty little
generators.

Be aware that cables can flap in the breeze.

Have the vacuum hose nearby, running, to try to limit the
amount of dust that settles onto everything else in the room;
maybe even a window fan/box fan, with a furnace filter...

Have Fun!
