Chapter 4: A clean computer is a happy computer

Now's time to give all other components the same compressed air treatment the power supply received. Before cleaning the motherboard I used a towel to wipe of the grease I put in the mounting holes. Then I went over it with a brush to loosen the dust and the air hose to blow it away. I did the same with the other two PCBs. After that I used compressed air on all other components (including the case) to clean them up. There aren't a lot of pictures of the cleaned parts, but you'lle see them as they're installed.

A dusty PCB with one clean area where a finger ran across.

The same fan and speaker assembly from before but now it's clean.
