That PC is dirty due to a combination of pet hair and neglect.

I have 4 cats and 2 dogs in my home and I never get pet hair in any of my machines and I only vacuum once a week

This machine was located in one of the consulting rooms where they examine the animals.
It also has probably not been cleaned in 6-7 Years.

Thats because you live in an attic. The pets are downstairs enjoying the heater.

I own 4 dogs and a cat, one of the dogs actually prefers to sleep right next to my computer. I think she likes the warmth. My computer is also on a carpeted floor. It doesn't look anything like that. Dust filters and cleaning it out with a vacuum and some compressed air every 3-4 months keeps it very clean, and it only takes about 5 minutes of my time.

Try letting it go for years. Most of these PCs have probably never even had the side panel taken off since they were built.

I change my setup before the years ... so no chance to get that much dust :P

And that's one reason I decided to buy an silverstone RV02B-W case it came with filters for all the fans except the one on the HDD cage but that hardly ever get crud on it anyways

[de.das.dude]

my guardian 921rb has a filter only on the hdd fan and psu.
hdd one isnt removeable.

Use coffee filtering paper to cover the intake fan/vent holes, ddd. I did the same and it works (as long as your cooling creates a low pressure environment in your case).

[de.das.dude]

we drink tea here. i doubt we will get coffee filtering paper.

i will try looking for alternatives. i did use air filter paper, but the filter gets clogged up to fast. in a day or two.

[Chevalr1c]

Maybe a piece of old shirt?

But yeah pantyhose is da boss. Seriously try it, it works quite well and one pair is cheap and lasts for miles. Buy XXXL.

[Jetster]

LIke I'm gonna be seen buying a pair of triple X pantyhose. I have a rep to uphold

[adulaamin]

You could use silk screen cloth... I did it before on my Antec 300 side panel fan intake... I think I still have the silk screen cloth dust filter i used before... I'll upload pics as soon as I find it... I had it stitched to velcro loops then I glued (used rugby so it's easy to remove/clean) the velcro hooks to the side panel... cost me less than a dollar and you could just remove and wash if ever it gets clogged with dust...

You go ahead and pretend that's true.

[SaiZo]

I have found several computers.. In a dust room.. And none, I say none were even as dusty in comparison to some of the systems I have seen here!

Man....just a trick like that. Never buy a pair of pantyhose that fits your size. That could give bad impression if you know what I mean. :P
