http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/13/ventblockers/ They talked of mice and spiders in the computers but not one mention of a 10 foot boa constrictor. One of the vice presidents brought me one of his computers that quit working. I asked what had happened and he said that his boa constrictor had got loose and after snacking on some baby chicks slithered into the case for a nap while the computer was running. Evidently all of him fit in the case. Fortunately I only had to reconnect a loose cable for the computer to work again. |

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/13/ventblockers/ Ugh, some people are just disgusting. How anyone can let their PC get to the state of those pics is beyond me. One of my PCs has a case that is almost ten years old and it looks better now than it did new. Started out beige but has a cool gun metal oxide paint finish now. |

I guess that you are not surrounded by desert. I am constantly cleaning computers from one of our offices. The office building is surrounded by open desert with very fine dirt and the back doors open directly onto that dirt. Heat sinks often fail after a couple of years of this and I have replaced a couple of heat sink fans where the bearings started failing. |

I live in a semi-arid area and in the summer my car always gets a layer of yellow dust on it but those PCs in the pics are due to gross neglect and not desert dust. I clean the inside of my PCs about every three months and those PCs haven't been cleaned ever. |

A long time ago a case fan I neglected to keep clean started to look pretty nasty from smoke and dust but some 99% isopropyl(sp?) alcohol cleaned it right up and then gave it a squirt of silicon lubricant inside the sleeve. Good as new. |
