743138 2009-01-30 00:19:00 I once had to look after a few PCs in a furniture factory.
They made all their stuff from Rimu, lots of sanding & sawing going on as you can imagine.
The PCs inside were pretty much all one colour - Rimu.
The dust was so thick and covered everything you couldn't tell the colour of the mainboard, ports, IDE cables etc!

743139 2009-01-30 00:27:00 I cleaned out a case belonging to a friends niece that was a tad dusty (no where as bad as yours!) and unbeknown to me there were flea eggs in the dust. Soo ... a few days later the scratching started and I had to flea bomb the house twice in the end to get rid of them. :stare:

Moral of the story: do your cleaning outside.

I've seen some bad ones, but that takes the cake!

Although there was the PC at a concrete processing plant, which got filled up with concrete dust, and then we had rain for about a week straight and teh floor the PC was on got wet, one morning it woudn't start.

The whole mobo was caked in crumbly concrete and it had siezed up the fan, cpu overheated!

This was before digital cameras, didn't get a pic. :(

Or do they live in a tent in the Gobi desert?
