Building a computer

[LubTheStaringCat]

I got all the bits to building my computer, but. Small problem...
On my mobo there was a sticker over the ram ports, and It's left some residue of the glue on parts.
How the hell do I get the glue off?

Rubbing alcohol on a bit of old tee shirt should do it.

Avoid using cotton balls or paper towels as they could leave fibers behind.

Shouldn't be a big deal. Just use rubbing alcohol. I used it clean off the thermal paste on my cpu. Works like a charm.

my tip for a lint free cloth to use is a new glasses cleaner cloth

Remember that rubbing alcohol is mostly water. It should be ok, but make sure you get everything dry.

Also agree with vivitron 15. Good choice for a lint-free, non-scratching cloth.

how 'bout nail polish remover? i think it's acetone or something like that.

[clocker]

Acetone can melt plastic.

So, yeah...go ahead and recommend it.

I don't think anyone Is noobish enough to put Acetone on a motherboard somehow.

[nemrac]

Acetone can melt plastic.

So, yeah...go ahead and recommend it.

Sorry, I was not recommending it. I was asking a question as to it's acceptability.

I just used some to get the stickers off the shafts of a new set of golf clubs and it worked great. I was not aware that it would melt plastic.

My apologizes if my question was misleading.
