doopdoopbedoop Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Vacuum cleaner... hoover... that thing you use to put over your penis to get off... the thing your mum uses to make the floors miraculously clean... use it on your pc to magically take the dust away.

Krisboats Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Vacuum cleaner... hoover... that thing you use to put over your penis to get off... the thing your mum uses to make the floors miraculously clean... use it on your pc to magically take the dust away.And replace said dust with static discharge from the end of the hoover. Nice plan.Please don't use the hoover in your pc unless you either don't care about it or know vaguely what your doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I was always under the impression vacuuming a PC was fine if it was still pluegged into the wall, as the earth would carry away static before any damage could be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats just for your hands... they don't build up static charges constantly. To give you an idea of the difference, you can do the hair raising balloon trick by charging the balloon on a hoover nozzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopdoopbedoop Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 People are being pretty clued up on here recently. Damn. What you really need to do is get hold of some compressed air from Maplin or wherever else you can find it and blow the dust off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Manual Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Or buy an airhorn and scare it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
