[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 88543, member: 162"] Re: PSA: Blow it out yer amps! I actually have some experience in all the areas mentioned - electronics, anti-static suction through my woodworking hobby, and fan bearing issues through my day job as an IT guy. For amps such as what Art mentioned, vacumming won't make any difference. For more normal amps, a can of compressed air will do at least as good of a job of "dirt relocation" as any vacuum, and avoid the moisture and oil issues of compressed air. I very much doubt that a few seconds of air is a big problem for the fan bearings, but as has been said - back voltage might be. I posted because I thought it was a little funny that it sounded like everything was bad. [/QUOTE]
