I was just looking at the cables. Yeah, I can see that now. As for the wires being visible, you can take care of that by moving the desk closer to the wall. If you can't see a rat's nest of wires, then it's no problem.

It's just away from the way to clean it. Normally it's like 4 inches from the wall

Like I said the main reason was the Romba. I don't mind seeing wires, but I would wake up in the morning and my Romba would be fighting my PC lol. It would even shut down my server somehow

All the TP-Link hardware of that generation had yellowing plastics for me. Ugly AF but the hardware inside kept on trucking...

I've seen that in other products too, I often wondered why.

not only tp-link the other too, that's why i hate any white color especially for electric stuff, but the trend is the trend where most release anything in white plastic

I've seen that happen even with stuff that never was in that kind of environment.

That's your idea of filthy? I consider that to be quite clean.

Not me, that was nasty! I would never let my stuff get that unclean.

Is it only tobacco smoke (or even chaw) that causes problems? Do herbal smokes also cause problems with leaving tar residues on electronics?

Am I the only one who thinks the case in the 3rd pic (corner right) is more nasty than the cables and spider-web monitor? :fear:

That's my server, it's next. I gave it an initial vacuum, but those mesh cases suck to clean

You have two power cables powering 8 different things. Do you have everything running at once?

actually not too bad for router that from 2015 era

just dust, nothing weird. it looks the previous user after not using it he just put that somewhere where the dust took over it

Robert B · Jun 6, 2022

This Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 was dirtier than a 25 year old socket 3 motherboard that I find at the scrappers.

Good thing that the dust didn't make contact with water as it would've been a lot more challenging to clean.

I still have to sort the damaged SATA ports but otherwise this high end UD6 has all the bells and whistles to become collectible in about 20 years time.

After 5 min of some light brushing and a session with my trusty air compressor it came out quite nice. It will require some more elbow grease but only after testing and repairs.

Ah Another fine example of the Intel carpet making factory

Splinterdog · Jun 22, 2022

This Athlon 64 x2 4800 came in today and it's still alive, so I thought I'd breath some new life into it after dusting off the HEV suit

I don't think it had been opened up for over a decade at least. Horrible.
