I once had ants begin to build a nest-thing in a laptop I had.

I thought it must be from the food crumbs that must`ve dropped between the keys.

Then figured as it was winter, they found it was a great warm place to shack up.

Dissasembled the laptop and nuked the beastly things. All was well, except even

after three months occasionly I`d see an ant leaving through the exhaust vent.

Was a constant source of amusement and wonder. Laptop still works to this day.

A nest! :D

Luckily they are too big to crawl between the display to die and get stuck forever there.

that was a joke.
Ah! But you have to understand without being able to see facial expressions or body language and with no included ;);)s, not everyone will understand something is a joke, especially in technical discussions.

I didn't take it as a joke because there are mineral oil cooled PCs in fish tanks.

Yeah cool, I've seen this website before with the fish tanks :D
But I really would not put a laptop in such tank:p

But baked bugs or not, you would still end up with bugs between your screen :D, if they can come between it.

In my old Asus laptop they can't crawl inside the display

Yeah, there is nothing in between my display but glass and superhot plasma that IF they managed to get inside, would probably convert them to a gas. Fortunately it's impossible to get inside for human safety reasons as far as I know.

So yeah, not an issue. But I also have nearly no bugs so...
