    Folks,

    Anyone know where I can get a decent mini vacuum for cleaning the dust out my tower or does anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of dust?

    Cheers

    You're not supposed to use a vacuum, it creates static which doesn't go well with components. Get Yourself a can of compressed air, most pc shops have them

    Whats the difference between the above & the one below other than the price?

    to OP, the nozzle could be different, waht you need is a good quality can and nozzle that sprays a constant blast instead of huffing and puffing here and there (bad nozzle/can). as one person said before, 'you get what you pay for'. cleanin out a pc with compressed air doesnt need much. you could probably dust your pc 9/10 times with one can

    You can get special vacuums/hoovers for this but they're crazy expensive and not worth the money. Go for the air in a can for about €10-15 and you won't go wrong.
