I have never done it before (I usually had my ex do it

). I know a little air can has to be bought to blow it out but I'm kind of worried about breaking something in it (those parts are tiny!).

I know it's kind of a dumb question to ask but being that I have absolutely no experience with it, how close do I need to put the can to the parts?

Thanks in advance for the responses!

Hold the can up side down and to your arm to test it.... NO, JK. That is a great way to cool a hot beer down though!!

As long as you don't hold it over the area for long durations you'll be fine. Use the "stick" to get into the fans and heat sinks then take it out to dust off the rest of the machine and move the dust out.

LOLOL I would have done that!

And that would have hurt and scared you. When I worked at radio shack we had freeze fights with air cans.

Mmmm be carefull, make sure you have no static or w/e in your arms by conducting it to the ground or w/e

Nothing special to it, just hold the can up right and blow the dust out. Make sure if your going to touch anything inside you touch your case first to ground yourself.

Yeah, just go outside with your computer, and use the can and blow the parts that are dusty.
