Annoying noisy fans and dust. Took my PC to the workshop, removed some parts and gave it a good blast with the airline, clouds of dust later and all is quiet..............(y)

I believe the way the "experts" do it is to remove all batteries, sources of power, etc. and use a power washer. Electronic components will be shorted if damp so they make absolutely sure everything is bone dry before switching back on.

I do occasionally wash keyboards in the kitchen sink and dry them by suspending over the wood burner but haven't had the nerve to power wash a computer yet!

Wasn't there a PC that was quite literally water cooled... I suspect it was probably only the CPU, but it sounds funky!!
 
I believe there are special non-conductive liquids that you can dip a lot of electronic devices into and they are cleaned/sorted. You then pull them out, allow to drain and they are good to go.

Why the heck you would liquid cool an average office PC I have no idea.

I would not advise folk taking the covers off their PCs. When you have spend hundreds on your latest Dell and realise the powersupply is a no-name Tesco value one you won't be impressed.
