Spiders!

Hi,

I cleaned out my case today, loads of dust, and found loads of cobwebs, particularly at the back of the case.

My PC has been acting strange lately, some BSODs out of nowhere, couldnt reproduce them so they were just randomly occurring.

Any ideas how to deal with spiders? How can I stop them getting into the case?

Just as a matter of interest, what sort of CFM do you get by blowing really hard?

You know what else would kill spiders? LN2.

i found the remains of a spiders dinner in my pc, along with lots of cobwebs around the case, but the best web was actually around the graphics card fan, and its never turned off :eek:

How it survived a 902's fans I'll never know.

All my intake fans already have dust filters.

I cleaned them out today they were quite clogged up but Ive seen them worse.

Is it possible for a spider to cause bsod by walking over the mobo/gpu?
