Keep your computers clean

A couple of weeks ago we had a customer's desktop PC in for a service and it presented us with a timely reminder just how quickly dust builds up in a computer system. This is compounded if the system is in a dusty environment and runs continuously.

The particles in the air in Christchurch are from dust off the cultivated plains and the ongoing demolition and construction work.

It is hard to prevent dust from intruding in to a server or workstations as these devices need air to keep the processor and power supply cooled.

A regular clean will keep this under control and reduce the risk of overheating due to the dust build up. In extreme cases, too much dust build up has caused fires.

Computer Culture can carry out this cleaning maintenance over the Christmas break which reduces the risk of system malfunction and a potential office fire!!
