Why is there ants in there anyway?? Was it because of your house was infested with ants?

Oh, I thought that's just the sound the computer makes when it's thinking.

This thread is disgusting, I feel sick after looking at this thread.
Some people must live in pure squalor to get their PC's in that state.

LOL there should be a thread warning, "not for weak stomachs".

Im pretty sure there was threads like this before, there was this one PC with inches of thick dust inside. You'd have to wear a mask to look in there. You can get really sick if you let dust and crud build up to that state.

Yeah, kinda sucks but I can't do much, my whole area is infested with them. Once they get a cosy, warm home, you're doomed.

Do you really believe people have any idea about if a comp should be kept clean in side ? In all the computer shops i have been only one said that it might need cleaning every so often.

I am mainly on about those place you walk in to but then again not as i have looked but not seen it on websites either.

Whens the last time you seen a sticker on the computers warning about dust ?. A lot of people don't think like most of us do on here and to be honest not everyone on here thinks about it as time to time some one v cards over heating and those stock coolers are great for dust build up..

So maybe just for a idea if some ones up to it to make a thread about cleaning them and what with and maybe a more advanced part to it as well who went to make it all shiny and new.
This is true. A lot of prebuilt machines come with "warranty void if removed" stickers, making cleaning impossible but more so that that, when last did any of you open your monitors, TVs or Hi-Fis for cleaning?

Let me dig out my collection of nasty pictures and select a few later on

I modified the club title so it shows a little more than "The.." in the recent posts and such.

A customer's Dell. Everything was so clogged up the fan would ramp up to full speed before the machine was even booted into Windows, and shut itself down from overheating a minute or two later. No air was moving through the heatsink at all. The customer didn't think the insanely loud fan was an issue. They figured some kind of virus was causing the computer to turn off...

The front grills were just as bad, but I couldn't get a good shot of those, because they are recessed inside the case.
