I need to clean the monitor.It is a 17" flat screen and was told not to use Windex or any chemical cleaners. Also need to clean the inside of the hard drive shell as well.I need to clean the fan/fans, and make sure everything is clean so my computer won’t have to work so hard to surf and etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Get some cottonballs. Then Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol. Dip the cotton in the alcohol and wipe down the screen in even, vertical strokes. That is for LCD flat screens. For CRT screens. mix 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water and soak a cloth in it. Squeeze out the excess liquid and wipe it horizontally across. The hard drive does not need to be cleaned. Use a can of compressed air to spit the dust off the fans. Gently, (and I mean very gently) wipe the inside of the hard drive with a dry cloth to get rid of dust and carefully put it back on. If you happen to be cleaning the outside external and hardware parts of your computer, might as well clean the internal operating system itself too. Defragment it and clean up uneeded files. Keep everything up to date, and you will have a high performance computer. Note: Using Windows only decreases the overall performance of the computer. There is no need to use Microsoft products, as they are making them bigger and bigger so they use more and more of your disk space, processor and memory so they can help their allies earn buck loads of money too. Linux is far better and faster. Hope this helps!

For inside your case:
Just suck it out with the hose of any household vacuum cleaner. Just be sure to power off the computer.
go to the local computer shop, and ask for it. They will give you everything you need.
canned air for the inside … maybe a shopvac close by to clean up the mess
use optical cleaner for the screen. The same stuff they use for glasses.
