Wait a tick...
3 sticks of RAM. Not x79, x58 or old K6. WTF? :slap:

A hell of a lot cleaner. Only dust buildup I see is under the blades of the GPU cooler, but i would imagine removing that plastic shroud/frame that holds those two fans is a PITA.
Other than that, the to-be-expected light dust over the heatsinks.

Love the cobwebs, any insect carcasses littering the bottom of the case? People who live out in the boonies sometimes get some interesting creepy-crawlies in their cases.

I like the bottom of the case, which looks to have a few mm of dust on it.

If it were K6, aren't they single channel anyways?

Just some photos of a system i had to deal with today from a vet clinic
No wonder it stopped working since temperatures around here are reaching 47c

uggh, reminds me of the old dells i had to clean out at work :/

Yeah k6 is single channel and wouldn't need 3 sticks of memory anyway LOL. I think depemding on the mobo they start flaking out over 128 mb of ram. Atleast the ones I had did. Ran fine with 128 but above that and they ran like a turd.

Yeah, K6 is single channel, but there were quite a few boards that had 3 RAM slots.

I remember having a socket 754 K8 Newcastle processor, and that processor was single channel but the boards supported three memory slots. And you could use three dual-sided DIMMS, just at a significantly reduced memory speed.

Anyway, the picture in the original post is a Gigabyte X58 motherboard. I used to own one very similar to it. It has 4 memory slots due to space constraints since they couldn't fit 6. Three DIMMS provide optimal bandwidth across all addresses.

Newcastle, sledgehammer and a couple others supported a 3 dimm single channel configuration. All of which were obviously s754. They supported 3 dimms at pc2700 speeds vs 2 dimms at pc3200. Wasnt exactly a major speed drop.

Better yet, if you're going to have a pet, make it a Roomba.

You just need to bare in mind that that PC came out of an vets they must have thousands of animals go through a year your average joe cat or dog living at home will never be that bad unless your just a lazy biarch and don't bother to vacuum ya house and dust your machine out once in a while....... I own two cats one short hair and one fluffy non stop malter my PC never look as bad as in those pics ever

Yes, you need to occasionally clean out the PC no matter what, but you don't get hair in the case unless you have pet. It's also hard to argue that a home with a pet would be cleaner than one without given the same cleaning routine; if you have a pet, you need to clean more often to maintain the same level of cleanliness. And I don't think the number of pets served by a veterinary clinic is a fair argument for the amount of junk in that case. Unless the PC is in the waiting room of the clinic, the maximum number of pets that would be in the room with it is probably one or two at a time, which is no different than having pets in a home. I'm sure veterinary clinics are also cleaned more frequently than an average home, not only to prevent the spread of disease but to maintain a good appearance for clients. That PC is dirty due to a combination of pet hair and neglect.
