Wow, lot of dust.

 

[Jacee]

And things that go 'bump in the night'

 

[Nburnes]

Wow.

Reminds me of my stepdad's computer.

I am surprised this does not happen at my school:

I see a few of them are Dell Dimensions. Cleaning my old Dimension out was the bane of my life. I don't understand how they gather so much dust, as it has no front intake fans to draw that much dust in to it :S

You should see some of the ones I get calls on; living out here in farm county. You will find computers out in the barnes, and in pump houses. The farmer calls and say his computer is over heating and that it shuts down, and he cannot figure out why. You open the box and tears come to your eyes you think what the he**. Then you get out the air blower and go to work. This is the number one problem I face doing side work on computers for the farming industry. The main contributors are feed lots. Cows can really kick up the dust.

I would literally have kittens if mine ever became that bad :shock: :shock: :shock:

I think your PC would've amassed enough living organisms by then to produce it's own kitens!

I didn't go much on the fried mice?

 

[Uber Philf]

YUCK! thats horrible!

And LOL at the PC with chip packets in it.

Kids at my school arent like that, they steal the ram and put it in their own PC's, and the PC admins wonder why its beeping at them LOL.

Worst I ever saw was a nest of insects in a notebook which had been used outdoors, they looked like a cross between a grasshopper and a prey-mantis, an adult had evidently laid a huge cocoon like egg just inside the case of the machine, and months later - when it hatched, the thing became clogged solid with hundreds of little green beggars that fried and died... and bunged everything up!

Took some very careful and extensive cleaning to get it working again, and it never smelled good afterwards!

LOL. Who actually leaves their notebook outside? Thats like a big no no. Its kind of common sense not to, not for that particular reason but still.

Thats kind of funny though.

Over the years I've dealt with many PC systems in industrial use - and I can state that the cases shown in the article are relatively clean

I can sympathise with Lee with his farming industry experiences - I've worked in Steel mills, paper mills, and sewage/waste plants and some will actually set a time limit of 3 months and replace the system - as it's more economic than building and operating a positive pressure computer room.

One of the most amazing things I recall was not actually a pc but a remote electro-mechanical switch in an enclosure in Algeria. We knew there was a switch as the system was operating and the switch was shown on the drawings ...

.... We found it after removing about 18 inches of sand from the base of the enclosure

This is disturbing. I have been looking for a filter that will just fit on a "spot" for a fan where a fan is not installed.

Anyone know where I can find a filter that will fit on a 120mm fan "grill" NOT THE FAN itself. Everything I see just fits on fans.

Become an inventor.
