Cleaning drywall dust entertainment system - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Yes, I know having my $800 TV near where I was working wasn't the brightest but I was anxious to use my new living room.

Okay here's the deal. I recently finished two rooms in basement. The TV room was finished first so I moved my entertainment system in. I still was drywalling in the bedroom next to it.

My questions are:

1. Should I be concerned? I was able to see some dust collection on my equip.

2. What methods should I use to clean my equip?

You need a special filter for the vacuum, I have a shop vac and had to spend about $30.00 for a "small particle" filter. Drywall dust is so fine most vacuum filters wont stop it so you end up wrecking your vacuum and blowing dust all over.

If you are not getting any accumulation on any of your gear, I would guess that you have been safe enough when working in the other room.

You would see accumulation on the gear if any internal components were getting any.
