Ok I am cleaning out my comptuer with some high pressure air... and i need a way to filter the air... and i need it now! I'm going to have big gusts of wind flying out of my computer full of dust and it don't want it to just all settle on my floor and on the furniture. save me batman! save meeeee :cry: :cry: :cry:

Call me silly (*pause*), but it seems to me that if you don't want any dust on your floor and furniture, you could carry out this procedure someplace where your floor and furniture are not!
 
That means disconnecting everything and bringing it downstairs and outside :( and this tower probably weighs 50 lb (its practically a server).
 
Okay fine. You could separate the computer from its environment. Say... with a large, plastic bag.


Though I really don't see why you're avoiding wielding the vacuum cleaner in the first place...
 
pff, vacuum cleaners sucK :) I guess ill just bring it downstairs and dust it :D.
 
haha, it weighed in at a sexy 57.5lb

That some kind of idea weight for penguin love or something?
 
You have how much of a dust cloud emitting from your computer parts?

Edit: dammit, dammi, "cloud" not "could". I really love the edit feature here, moonbear.

Hey, we saw your carpet when you posted that picture of the bookcase; it needs to be shampooed anyway, so why worry about a little dust? :-p

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: shut up, I am never shampooing this carpet!
 
It won't help, penguin feces stains bad.
