It is said that its not good for your computer to be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner (the inside) as long as the vacuum cleaner is on "intake" mod. If there is, however, an "output" mod, then its ok. I don't entirely understand this. I understand that the moving air can easily charge up the components of the PC, and it can be harmful, but how does it matter of whether its moving from a high pressure zone to a "normal" one, or from the "normal" one to the low pressure zone?
As my computer has both intake and output fans, this confuses me a tad.
At first, I thought that when using the "intake" mod, the tip of the vacuum cleaner/the metal "pipe" would naturally be held closer the the components, and when the pipe gets charged up by the air, it can, maybe partially, induct charges on the components aswell. But I am not sure this is correct.
Any ideas? I have to admit that I am not entirely positive about this myth though. But I've heard about it.
Thanks in advance,
