Umm I hope you got a good filter to prevent water from being sprayed into your PC and umm the shop vac may be a bit overkill no? Normal vacuum alone should suffice.

You still using a clear case? May want to add a glass cleaner to your list also lol Just be sure to remove all electronics from the case before cleaning the inside.

Nah gave the clear case to my sister. Ironicly that was the one I was cleaning before taking that pic lol.

The shop vac is mostly to get air borne particles, I don't actually shove it right in the PC. The compressor runs for about 45 minutes before it starts to spray a bit of water. I've been wanting to get a filter for it though. The amuont of water is so fine that just letting the pc sit for 5-10 minutes is enough, but to be safe I usually let it sit longer if I notice my hand got wet. 135 psi in a PC is lot of fun.

well i use a different method. pick it up and dump out the dust which i can then use as potting soil since i get enough of it.
