No I don't have a clean room for my computers and you probably don't either.
That said reading a national magazine they did remind me its time to clean the computers.
Not a easy task as I have thirteen networked computers in my computer room and if you have more than two you realize how many cables that involves. I don't use all the computers most of the time and have four favorites that get most of the use. Needless to say I have a 24 port network switch that is loaded heavy after adding laser printers, smart tv and nas hard drives so it's time to reroute cables also.
Okay back to work start disconnecting and opening up those computers and maybe take them to the garage and blow that fine fine dust that gets in everything. If you blow it out in the room you will just pass the dust along into something else daaaa. Now don't blame the spouses cleaning it just gets in there no matter how much you clean. Do only one device at once or you may be in a cable nest.
You might even do that laser printer too. Take out the toner cartridge and take that outside to blow it out
or you will be finding toner dust on stuff in garage. I wonder how I found that out?
While doing all of this reroute your cables so they are bundled a little better and if you are like me I find some that aren't hooked to anything from old setups.
Being retired I can dedicate a afternoon to this task and you might too because you won't want to do it again for a year after you done.
Good Luck
