I don't smoke, but I had 3 years worth of dust in my pc
I blame the Q6600, for being so damn good that I didn't open my case in 3 years
Is that an arctic duster 7
what temps did you get with that?

lol Dimple, a man after my own heart. My 2nd machine has a HDD sitting in the bottom on top of an old towel to keep it silent, makes a racket when it's screwed in. :>
Main rig is all neat and perfect cause I got OcUK to make it, didn't even bother with that.

Many, many years ago I used to work at a place building PCs. My boss decided, in his infinite wisdom, to agree to refurb machines for a company who used them for playing in-store music in stores such as JJB Sports, McDonalds etc. Some of them were in a particularly nasty state but I can only find some of the tamer pictures at the moment:
Lovely.
Lovely.
i just took some painkillers and looking at the dust makes me wanna puke lmfao.
Phemo,is that big hard disk in the picture really small like 2GB or something? I had one that looked like that years ago and it was only 2GB

Worst I ever saw was a Dell GX1 that spent it's life on the floor in an engineers office next to the doorway brush mat. The doorway was to a loading bay at an ICI plant.
After the lid was taken off, it had to be taken outside and blown out using an instrument air line before we could see where everything was. It got replaced.

Yeah I've seen some pretty grim ones in my tech support years. The worst machines were always from smokers' homes. Best one I could find though, taken on my old Nokia 6600 phone:
This is just an urban myth.
There is an element of skin ofc, but it's just a complex mix of good old fashioned dirt - brick dust, fabric fibres, soil dust, smoke, organic material from plants or insects etc.

I've mentioned this before, But I'll say it again. Uncle had a shop that sold lawnmowers, The PC in the office was the worst I've ever seen. Dust, Dirt, Grease and I'm pretty sure petrol residue inside. Was disgusting to fix it, for "some reason" the PSU stopped working

for those who feel the need Poundland have cans of compressed air for erm - a pound! bargain.
A quality round-up right here..

And @ the crematorium anecdote. Are you implying that the smoke and debris from the burning just swirls around the office for all the workers to inhale and absorb? I think not.

Heres an old build of mine, with my epic cable management
How do you always remember the years? It can be the most trivial thing ever and you'll be in the thread saying 'oh I first did that in 1972' or something.
I did a contact in the Liverpool Jaguar plant and some of the machines in the press shop were disgusting, it was a wonder how they still worked! They'd been in there about 10 years, were massively out of date and had never been cleaned!

Because 1988 was the first 386sx20 I had and I've always left the covers off.
Oh and because I'm autistic.

I think those ones were 8GB, but yeah they were available in all those capacities. They were Quantum Fireball drives I think, I don't miss them
