Hi welcome back to expertvillage.com. As you can see here I already have the finish product the PC is pretty much clean in the inside. One last thing that we got to clean now is I still have one more fan which is here on the side panel. It is a intake fan and most PCs don't usually have this, but in this case my is a custom built one. It got a fan here on the side just to draw more air into the casein of the PC. As you could see, this is the fan here on the side and it got a filter. So what I'm going to do now is just clean the filter. You could either you could either unscrew the four screws over here or you could just take a piece of a damp cloth and just wipe the fan. What I'm going to do here is just take this out. You still need to clean on this one. Press the top this is the filter of the fan. As you could see it is all full of dust. It is made out of metal so what I'm going to do instead is just wash it under a faucet.
