Asked By DustyGadgetGuru524 On

I'm currently keeping my TV, DVD player, PS4, and TV box in my basement, which has quite a bit of dust and slightly higher moisture levels (around 40%). I'm wondering if this environment could damage my devices if I continue using them until they naturally wear out. Also, is it a good idea to use a compressor to blow out the dust from the vents of my devices every few days?

It's definitely important to keep your devices clean, especially since they need good airflow to prevent overheating. Since you're in a dusty area, covering the devices you’re not using with a tarp or sheet could really help. Keeping moisture at bay is crucial too; just make sure it doesn’t cause any condensation on your gear.

Absolutely! You can use filter floss over vent openings to help catch dust and manage moisture. Regularly blowing out the dust with dry compressed air will definitely help. You might also consider using a dehumidifier in your basement to keep the moisture levels down and reduce airborne dust.
