Yes, I've seen those too. How effective they are at eliminating
static, I don't know. But if you, or anyone else, could point me to a
web site that discusses their effectiveness, I'd like to read more
about it.

If they are effective, and not *too* expensive, I would consider
buying one. Do you remember what prices you saw?

Try typing computer vacuum cleaners into Google. There are plenty and
plenty of reviews.



Thanks. I googled it yesterday, and found lots of ads and some
reviews. But what I had hoped to find and didn't find was an article
by an *expert*, not necessarily about any particular computer vacuum
cleaner, but discussing the effectiveness and risk (or lack or risk)
of using any such machine.


I don't think it's all that complicated so I wouldn't hold my breath
looking for an "Expert". You could make your own and become an expert
yourself I love inventing little gadgets and such. You could mount
small plastic tubes at several points throughout your system and
connect a vacuum pump.

The number things that can be most effective are
preventative. SHCS is the number one cause of congestive computer
buildup. Second hand cigarette smoke will cause that dust to stick.



Fortunately there's no cigarette smoke in our house, second hand or
not. I stopped smoking 44 years ago, and we don't permit any guests to
smoke here.


Same here. I don't quite remember just how many years it was for me
but I can say I never smoked in my adult life and I will be 65 in
July.
