Yikes, some nasty stuff in there. I've never seen any quite that bad, but I can definitely attest that smoker dust is the worst kind to clean out....sticks like freakin glue..

A guy I used to work with had done onsite calls to various local businesses at a previous job, so he had some pretty crazy horror stories. I think the worst was at a chicken processing plant where a PC that controlled one of the machines suddenly up and died. When he got there, he found that the computer had been in place so long..and ignore for so long...that there was almost 1/2" of floor wax cementing it in place. They had just left it there while they waxed the floor! :facepalm: Even better, once he finally got the case off the floor and open, he found a couple of dead mice in the bottom of the case and the entire interior coated in a grimy dust..like I said, chicken processing plant.. Long story short, they ended up just replacing the thing. Kinda makes me wonder what kind of shape its replacement is in now...

yeah try working on the PCs of an office who've chainsmoked with no ventilation (other than the PC fans) for 5 years, and the computers being full of some weird compound of nicotine, tar and dust a quarter of an inch thick.

Also, I am probably going to have to pull apart my girlfriend's dad's PC - it's in the SPRAYBOOTH of his woodworking shop - albeit in a cupboard with no ventilation - heat anyone?

Fortunately, you don't need a can of compressed gas if you have a compressor to hand!
