1. Use compressed air (Dust-Off) to blow off as much dust as you can.
2. Use a dusting cloth (Swiffer) to get all the little bits of dust that the air couldn't remove.
3. (Not necessary) Take a shallow tub (big enough to fit all components separately) and pre-rinse all the components in mineral oil right before you put them into your actual computer aquarium.

Puget Systems is now in the construction phase of it's new office and warehouse. On this video blog, we get a look at the new space and the progress that's been made since Part 1.
Puget Systems is starting to transition to our new office in Auburn, WA. This is the first installment in a series of updates on the building progress.

So I had an idea the other day of a script that maps our visitors locations, showing us what time of day people browse. The yellow area shows "daytime"....from 9am to 5pm. Anyhow, it isn't nearly as exciting as I had hoped, but we're not exactly an international website either.
