I had to post these pics, as it simply amazed me that the computer was still running when I got in it in the shop. This has got to be one of the nastiest computers I have ever had the chance to work on.

Have you guys seen anything that compares? If so, post away and show us how nasty it can get.

:eek: That is pretty awful, i have not seen anything that comes close to that. Worst i've seen was when i went to a client he had 2-3 inches of dust on the bottom of the tower, with light fuzz on everything else.
 
That person probably smokes near their computer. The smoke coats everything in tar and dust sticks to it like nobody's business.
 
Post some pics of what it looked like after it was cleaned...

I've had to clean out a few SGI's that have been sitting out on a shop floor before, they were full of EDM dust. They had probobly about the same amount of dust in them, but the EDM dust is jet black and is incredibly messy to clean.
 
holy Sh*t I just took mine apart and thought the dust on my fans was bad but that takes the cake :)

what model compaq is that and why bother better off just replacing :)

It was a Compaq ENL 733 Mhz P3. Nothing major, but its a teacher machine, and all they used it for was 'net surfing and e-mail. Apparently, they vacuumned the house with it too.... :rolleyes: No hardcore gaming going on there! :rolleyes:

Yea the compaq sticker on the power supply gave it away.
:D

Yea that machine is pretty bad. I've seen my fair share of those.
 
That's not that bad, you can still see the mobo lights. :rolleyes:

I remember some guy on here posted pics of a comp he cleaned, the user had 2x cats, 2x smokers in the house, PC on floor, and never vacuumed lol. Oh, and a few 120mm fans with no filters. It was worse than that one.. he actually had to replace some of the parts it was so bad.
 
During the summer i work as a comp tech assistant for my school district. I see stuff like that all the time.....when its that thick, you can tell that dust is mostly dead skin omfg :eek:
 
Wait, is there a computer under there somewhere? That is pretty bad. Maybe I will empty the vacuum cleaner into my case to see if it will still run. :p
 
Funniest thing I've seen all day. Thanks for the laugh... lol... :D
 
While adding a BigM to BigM and LittleM adapter (M=molex), I took the front off out of boredom.

These were posted here a few years back. I saved them, and here they are. Not sure who they belong to.

Sorry, but NOTHING can beat a LaserPrinter with Cat-Pee in it. I've seen it. I've refused to work on it.

Thank god for heppa filters and Ionic Storm next to my tower.

I saw that picture awhile ago on a study about korean/chinese (?) gamers and their environments that they work in.
