compressed air for attached cards and the mobo.

vacuum cleaners dont generate enough magnetic strength to disrupt the workings and, most importantly, the hdd
but use canned air instead

just don't use the brush attachments. they create static electricity, might not be enough to zap a card but then you never know, the card it zaps might be your mb or your video card :chuckles:

also i wouldn't use microfiber towel for internal parts, they are just polyester fibers that have been cut very very fine. polyester = static electricity
