Question:

How can I clean a computer?

I have looked virtually everywhere and I cannot find an easy, cheap way to clean my desktop computer's insides. I have come to the conclusion that:1. 'Canned air' is expensive and toxic2. Vacuum cleaners will use static electricity to destroy computers3. Blowing on the components will add moisture to them and destroy them.Will a bicycle pump work?Please, I am getting desperate.

Answer:

Compressed air is best option. You can buy it on the internet very cheap, although buy more then one can at a time as they don't last very long. Just use it in a well ventilated area. Normal vacuum cleaners cause static, you can get special computer ones that don't. A bicycle pump isn't very powerful.
Here okorder / And just for the record, none of your three points are particularly accurate. Canned air can be expensive, but you can also get it dirt cheap if you look in the right places. It is only dangerous if you shoot it directly into your mouth (as the propellant replaces the oxygen if your lungs and you die). I've never even heard of a problem with vacuums generating static, and most tech kits include a small vacuum. And I've never seen document proof of moisture from breath destroying any computer component. Just make sure you power the system down before doing anything, and don't spit on it, and you should be fine.
