Here is my entry for competition :

)

I usually clean my caby once a month with usb vacuum cleaner and assemble my whole system once every 6 months.

Cable management credit goes to CM for giving us the Great HAF932.

PS : Let me know if I have voided any rule.
 
Finally an advantage of postponing the cleanup since past 2-3weeks...

although chances of winning against veterans of cable management is a bit tough job to execute (if people in cable management thread are participating

here are the photos of my cabinet for TechEnclave presents Clean & Clear Contest.

Either way, it is a win-win situation. So go ahead and do the clean up before the contest ends.

BTW, it would be better participants post the thumbnails of the pictures in this thread rather than just the links. Will motivate others who are just visiting the thread too.

#dOm1naTOr #rahulyo No bonus points for messy pics, so don't go through the trouble of making your cabinets dirty first.

Did you forget to place a handwritten note mentioning your TE userID in the pictures or am I just too sleepy right now to see it?

Here's my entry to the contest:

Messy Cabby (built 1 month ago
<
) :













Cleaned Cabby:

1. First of all, started with the Hyper TX3.

Used a cloth to prevent the fine dust from falling on other components.

Used a blower to blow out THE dust.



Most of the dust collected on the cloth.



Cleaned!



2. Used the blower and the cloth to clean rest of the components.















Hope to WIN !!!!

P.S.: Cable management already done so didn't redo it!

oooops i forgot to mention how i cleaned my pc

firstly i removed all the connecting wires .. kept every h/w separate .. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]mouse .. kb .. monitor .. gpu .. hardisk .. psu .. motherboard[/font] !

i cleaned my [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Keyboard[/font] 1st which took hell lotta time as i removed every single button .. it was the 1st time i was cleaning the AW KB since i bought it from fellow te member .. i took around [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]3 hrs[/font]

then i cleaned my [font=comic sans ms,cursive]MX518[/font] not that time consuming .. about [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]10-15 mins [/font]i guess .. washing the Razor mantis took 5 mins and then i hanged it up alongside clothes

well then i started cleaning my empty cabby in my balcony .. it was very dusty .. i took around [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]45 mins[/font] to clean the cabby .. the dirt around the fans is always difficult to clean in [font=comic sans ms,cursive]HAF 32 [/font]

then after taking lunch break i poured water on my [font=comic sans ms,cursive]PC table[/font] so that while wiping it with a cloth later on it would be easy to clean the sticky dirt

then i started cleaning individual components .. it took about an [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]hour[/font] to clean the [font=comic sans ms,cursive]GPU .. monitor[/font](cleaning it with the polish) .. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Hardisks[/font] and the slots

afterwards i cleaned the [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Pc table [/font]which was lying in the balcony ...

so after cleaning up the place it was time to clean the [font=comic sans ms,cursive]MOTHERBOARD[/font] which doesnt usually take time .. removing the dirt from the cooler and cleaning the whole mobo took around [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]45 mins [/font]

the [font=comic sans ms,cursive]cabby[/font] was clean .. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]hdsks, mobo, gpu, psu[/font] were ready to go .. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]assembling/cable management[/font] took around [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]half hour[/font] .. started the pc but it would start .. so i tighted all the wires around gpu and psu .. the pc started .. brought the pc table inside set the monitor, mouse pad ....

after few cuts and bruises the job was done ....

materials used for cleaning .... [font=comic sans ms,cursive]small air pump .. brush .. atleast 5 hankey sized clothes .. polish .. water water n water
<
.. screwdriver set [/font]

time consumed .. [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]7-8[/font] hours including lunch break ....

it usually takes around 5-6 hours continuous to clean but taking snaps cleaning hands + starting the pc again after removing all the buttons from ALIENWARE KB to enable ALien fx to take snaps of the keyboard with various colors (which was a dream since i got the kb) .. that consumed extra time

my pc config :

[font=times new roman,times,serif]MOBO : Asus P5q3 Deluxe wifi[/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]CPU : Q6600[/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]Ram : 4gb [/font]

<
)[/font]
