Dust gets all over my motherboard. Probably because of the air flow or static electricity or something. The only real way to get your motherboard nice and clean is to spray all the nooks and crannies with compressed air.
Have a simple loop of pipe around all the parts on the motherboard with appropriately
spaced holes so that a single burst of compressed air can loosen all the dust particles quickly and effectively. You may then proceed to vacuum up all the debris before it settles again.

It's not really irrigation, is it? That would imply cutting grooves into the mother board. It probably needs a whole new word, such as 'transflation'. |
|
| |
I suppose so. My garden irrigation system is just a hosepipe with holes in it, though. |
|
| |
word bun to [pertinax] for 'transflation'. |

I think an oil bath air filter would be cooler. |

//I think an oil bath air filter would be cooler.// |

The reason I thought this up was so that it would be very easy but without changing your set up very much at all. |
|
| |
Wouldn't it be a case of ventilation or "turbulent dust arousal"? |
|
| |
i'm not convinced that the many holes will have adequate pressure to loosen the dirt. |

I seem to remember a scene in "Gattaca" where Ethan Hawke goes over his keyboard with a sort of micro-vacuum cleaner to keep fallen skin cells and hair follicles from falling into the cracks and incriminating him. |

"static fire suppression system" --> "static dust exsufflation system" |

|

Grooves are irrelevant to the meaning. But it's still the
wrong word. |
|
| |
irrigation [ir-i-gey-sh/uh/ n] noun
1) the artificial application of water to land to assist in
the production of crops.
2) Medicine/Medical . the flushing or washing out of
anything with water or other liquid. |
|
| |
If you're not using a liquid, you probably shouldn't use the
word irrigation. |
|
| |
Suitable words I found are "depurate" (to make or become free from impurities) or
perhaps "deterge" (1-to wipe or wash away; cleanse; 2- to cleanse of impurities or
undesirable matter, as a wound). |
|
| |
Just like in the upper right of your keyboard may be Pause / Break, the upper left could be Escape / Expel |
|

Ah, I like "motherboard exsufflation". Liberating the motherboard dust is somewhat like a sneeze -- and much like a yawn, would be likely to induce sneezes in those nearby. |
