Vast and Infinite

In my ongoing struggle with computer noise, I decided to attempt to drive all the dust bunnies out of my case.  Stopping off at Best Buy, I got a couple of cans of air and started puffing.  Lots of dust came out (all over my desk) but more remained in vents, fans and nooks throughout the machine.  Then I got serious and brought the upright vacuum into play.  With the hose and corner attachment, my vacuum devoured dust that the canned air couldn’t touch.  I don’t claim to have it all out, but the case is a lot better and I think the noise may have gone down a few decibels.  Next time I’ll save my money and skip the canned air altogether.

I also found this recipe for hushing a Dell XPS Gen 2, which I’ll try out tomorrow.
