I accidentally got glitter into my PC when it flew over from the next room while my computer was running. The fans blew the glitter everywhere, and I know that glitter can conduct electricity, which could potentially damage components like my GPU and PSU. What's the best way to clean it out without voiding any warranties?

Honestly, if the fans were running hard, glitter could be sitting in some tricky spots. The safest bet is to follow a thorough cleaning method by disassembling parts and using compressed air. Just be careful with static, as mentioned!
The best approach is to open your PC case and carefully remove the components you can, like the GPU and RAM. Use compressed air to blow out the glitter from each part and the slots. Just remember to be cautious about static electricity; make sure to ground yourself occasionally while you're working on it.
If you're worried about opening everything up, just go ahead and do it! For the GPU, check if you can take off the fans without voiding the warranty. If that's possible, give it a gentle clean with some compressed air or a soft brush to get the glitter out without damaging anything.
