Cleaning my PC from dust in the same room it's normally in

[Roasted Bunny]

I'm cleaning my PC in my bedroom on top of my desk with compressed air.

Is that a good idea? (I don't want to drop my computer taking it outside.)

I also will have my Windows open. (Glass Windows)

Make sure you vacuum seal the room before you start.

I recommend covering your nose and mouth with a cloth/mask whilst doing it. When you have finished leave the room for 20 mins for the dust to settle. Then hoover room.

What do you mean by "Vacuum seal"?

ok just use common sense... be prepared to use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning up any mess. As there will be a mess of sorts depending on how much dust there is. How fan blades so they do not spin when you are cleaning that area.

kinda defeats the purpose since it might just ended up back in the pc... plus you'll have a mess to clean up

What defeats the purpose? You didn't quote or anything, so what are you referring to?

But better then a smashed up PC, plus not all of it will go back in.

maybe dust recirculation?.
if you clean PC inside bedroom, dust will just be in the room 'recirculating'. better clean PC under a shed/room other than what you use for resting.

Yeah, but wouldn't the dust settle?

Ok, thanks.

I just said that because these guys are all telling diffrent things so it's just going to get confusing

If I need to hold the fans while spraying it will I get the spray on my hand? I've heard it's bad for your skin.

I guess I've been living on the edge taking my 4 PCs out to the porch and letting the Filter Queens 2200cfm blower rip.

Some of these posts get a little too particular and regarding blowing dust out in the same room come on it's common sense, you wouldn't sand a bunch of boards in the middle of your living room or bedroom if you have access to outdoors.

Ps, handy tip, use a wooden skewer to hold your psu fan and others from spinning.
