| 1142665 | 2010-10-13 10:02:00 | I had a pc bought to me once. It was beige. The owners said it had been getting slower and slower and would only boot after nth amout of times. I opened it up - and the interior was coated in dust+tobacco smoke. I ended up stripping it down and washing most parts in the sink with warm mildy soapy water, dried *thoroughly*. When I was finished it it was white! and booted every time fast no probs :D |

Yeah, just checked that Supercheap autos do stock those 12V DC mini compressors. The one you bought is using Mains power or car battery power? |

It is so sticky it collects more dust at an exponential rate & is very difficult to clean, not to mention the smell :yuck: |
