I found a spider made a home!
I couldn't snap a picture of it, my 10 year old daughter thought it was awesome and she took it upon herself to remove it in a timely fashion so she could release it outside. Sneaky little arachnids they are. Best way I can describe it is it looked like a small orb weaver type spider, about the size of a pea and was brownish looking.
I decided to open my case, which I hadn't done in about a year, to investigate a rattling sound (like a wire hitting a fan) and to my surprise in the I found a pretty sophisticated web, a spider and a couple of small insects it had captured. I'm not really sure how it or the insects got inside the case since there are no openings and every vent/hole has a filter covering it, but clearly they all found a way in. The picture below (old picture, but current tower) the area circled in red is where the web was positioned - between the fans, in all the open space.
I did have a small wire that was getting hit by a fan, so I got that out of the way and the rattling sound is now gone. I also took time to clean everything out.
I still find it odd that my daughter can scream bloody murder if a fly buzzes her or if she sees one in the distance and can't tell if it's a fly or a bee....but spiders, she picks them up in her hands and puts them outside.
