A customer's Dell. Everything was so clogged up the fan would ramp up to full speed before the machine was even booted into Windows, and shut itself down from overheating a minute or two later. No air was moving through the heatsink at all. The customer didn't think the insanely loud fan was an issue. They figured some kind of virus was causing the computer to turn off...
The front grills were just as bad, but I couldn't get a good shot of those, because they are recessed inside the case.
