What's the best way to remove finger prints, etc from computer cases?
My Thermaltake Element S is a finger print magnet lulz.
Thanks.

My keyboard is a dust magnet, so I know how it feels.
Assuming the outside of the case is a plastic or metal, you should just be able to get a soft cloth (I like microfiber) and wipe it down. If that is not enough, you could spray a little windex on the cloth and wipe them off.
It would be just like getting fingerprints off a screen or something.

I'd agree with Lordbob, microfiber cloths. They even make premoistened ones for cleaning PCs. A Guy

As long as it's not toxic (like paint thinner, lol) you should be fine. Although+ another for microfibre cloths.
The softer the cloth, the less abrasive and much less chance of scratching.
And for good measure, a few less than helpful suggestions for further finger print attraction:
► Don't touch it
► Wear Gloves
► Sandpaper your finger tips
► Cut off fingers
Effective, but as mentioned, not so helpful

I did that when I first got my nice trumpet, didn't want to get fingerprints on it!

I have a Toshiba Satellite which I absolutely adore, except for it's glossy keys on the keyboard. Quite possibly one of the worst engineering decisions I've ever seen for a laptop.
For the screen I only use a microfibre cloth. For all the other surfaces, a plain old terrycloth face washer does the job.

As for cleaning my screen, case and peripherals I must admit I primarily just use damp cotton gloves.
They aren't abrasive otherwise I wouldn't use them.
Occasionally, for a 'proper' clean of my mouse, m/pad and keyboard I use a skin cleansing swab which contains 70% Isopropyl alcohol, 1% Chlorhexidine and 29% Purified water.
Great for removing that gummy build up.

I use a vaccume to suck the dust from the case, in between the keyboard and on top of the screen.
Then i get a damp sponge and clean the screen, and wipe over the mouse and keyboard, to get the greece off of them. I only do this when the computer is OFF and the screen is COLD otherwise you'll damage the pixels. I dont bother with a microfibre, the very little bits of water on the screen evaporate almost instantly, i can only guess this is due to the properties of the screen?
