Is it safe to use compressed air inside my Desktop? - GWAA Aug 5, 07:43 5
- vacuuming is less messy but usually not as effective. one bad thing about compressed air ... - zork Aug 5, 07:54
- thanks all! -- nm - GWAA Aug 5, 07:48
- turn it off and unplug it first. the only potential problem is that compressed air is cold, and can cause condensation, so don't go nuts with it. -- nm - mafic Aug 5, 07:48
- using air is fine. -- nm - decline Aug 5, 07:45
- Yes, it's ok. Obviously turn it off before you do it. - Subversive Aug 5, 07:45

  - i wouldn't worry about it, you did your part! (everyone really SHOULD post on the board when they receive their shirt!) -- nm - Andie Aug 5, 07:15
- :( I still have to do this. -- nm - decline Aug 5, 07:06
- *sigh* no. I'm having trouble finding one that isn't lame tourist. -- nm - mafic Aug 5, 07:06 1

      - bizzare -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 06:32 1

- Someone else posted that GH has a kit available on Amazon for the same price. Which does ST recommend? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 5, 05:41 2
  - Tough call. The GH drums have an extra cymbal, but I like how the RB bass pedal has a pole to keep it stationary. - JaxSean Aug 5, 05:46 1
    - (The reason I say that about the drums: that means you can use the GH drums to play RB, but you can't use the RB drums to play GH drum songs.) - JaxSean Aug 5, 05:49
