Friends PC had issues.
Friends PC ate the whole dog.

The compacted hair springloaded the front panel so it shot off onto the floor

You have taught them how to use a hoover properly at this point, right?

From the look of that mess? Clearly! :roll:

I mean, he's not wrong. Not the most practical vacuum though!

Seems to me he should take a trip to Ikea and pick up one of their Förnuftig air purifiers though. Cheap and effective.

I gave him an old monitor stand to raise the PC slightly off the floor, it might help delay the issue

I'd give him a pair of milk-crates zip-tied together. They make great PC floor stands!

Sounds like a good time to visit the local craft store to assemble PC version of the collar of shame. Easily static charged plastic guard around the base might actually fix a lot of their issue.

just bought 2nd mose for fairly low price and like what i said actually i hate more with holes since if the user is dirty, the mouse will attach more dirt

That needed some clean up for sure, but we've seen much worse. If you haven't, take a browse through this thread, there are some purely nasty, messy examples for certain.

How is it neglect? Not using it would be neglect. There's a ton of laughs and good times covered by dust there. She never throttled but I did notice my cpu running a little warmer than in the past.

Some users apparently live in clean rooms and don't ever allow a spec of dust to enter their computers... I'm not sure how much of it is joking or not... :kookoo:

Here is my sons computer, it’s in an R4. I haven’t looked inside for a few months.. should be interesting

Oh I know it's a joke. I mean it's been a good 5 or 6 years since I've done it so I know it was true lol
Was just defending my old girl. She's high flow.

Same case I just cleaned but yours is white. Well maybe off white now? Haha

I see it every day so to me it looks like it always has

It's still a nice case, just huuuge.

But I bought it brand new in 2012, Shes held a few systems

The sound dampening came in handy for my 120x38s, but not really at the same time :laugh:

Or all of that dust is simply coating the ceiling vent

maxx2575 · Dec 3, 2022

friend of mine cleaned out his pc and found some cobwebs. not the worst thing but I think the fact that it's an HP omen obelisk with a 1060 3gb that he paid over £1000 should make up for that.

Hattu · Dec 3, 2022

I didn't know (or remembered) there was a thread like this.

LOL.

I've been disassembling (for recycling) old pc's, servers and other electrical stuff for a 'bout 6 months now. Plenty of dust, dogs, cats, spiders (alive) and what not. Too bad I didn't took pictures.

For now on, I will. LOL. Stay tuned.

It really stings my poor and empty heart and bank account, when a (at least) 2 CPU server ends up on my working table. It's probably been crushed (by forklift), mutilated, left in the rain for months and abused in so many ways. Totally broken or crushed...

Usually no HDDs or RAM in them, but anything else is still usually in there. I almost cry every time.

So dust or domestic animals are not the first things in my mind, when i open up a perfectly fine piece of electronics... I'm techie junkie at my hearth...
