    Exclamation Buddy Check

    Hello,
    I'm shira from the Cooler's Guild. I'm here to tell you about buddy check. Take this opportunity to email/IM/tell a "buddy" of yours to check his case for symptoms of Dustycaseitis. This dangerous infection can lead to the death of a computer.
    Symptoms include but are not limited to:
    • clumps of dust in or on the case
    • a moderate to thick coating of dust on the components
    • a mat of dust on heatsinks and fans


    Please on the 18th of every month check your case as well as remind a buddy to check his/hers.

    right on, my dad had to get a new video card from dell because all of a sudden there were these grey stripes acroos his screen (even after connecting a different monitor). So when I went to install it in his dell, I had noticed that the gpu fan was the problem. so much dust had gotten into it that I could barely turn it with my finger. lol, after that I think i'm going in my case with a can of compressed air every so often. I can't just holler dell and have a new video card you know .

    Im never opening my case again, I just opened it and a big gray bunny jumped from my CPU and try to hit me

    Luckily I shut the case side quickly t ohold him back , I think he let me off easy this time and got his warning across.

    Phew :rolleyes:

    2 80mm + 1 120 = No Dust

    Wanna know how? Well, two things. First of all, positive case pressure. This keeps dust from being sucked in. 2nd is I use FILTERS!

    (God, I gotta get a filter for my massive intake - all 103CFM's are blowing down tons of dust on my precious MCX and Radeon )
