Hi

What is the best way to clean out dust that gathers inside the computer casing over time. Just installed a PCI card and noticed that some areas started to get a bit dusty. I`m using a G4.

Thanks
Tom

Pick yourself up a can of compressed air at any computer or camera store. It's not cheap, but well worth the investment and quite safe to use.

Compressed air is definitely the way to go; I've heard horror stories (don't know how many are substantiated) about attempts to clean keyboards with vacuum cleaners... rumour had it that the solution sucked!
