abferm Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 As a computer technician I have seen some pretty nasty PCs(roaches like your nice warm PC). Post your pics and see who has the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abferm Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just wait until another customer that smokes at their PC brings it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexophrenic Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just wait until another customer that smokes at their PC brings it in. That ain't no joke. Not judging, but that is very compelling example of what a smoker's lungs may look like...good reason to smoke very little if at all.

abferm Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) The other technitian in our office pointed me towards these pics he took a wile back of a customer's computer. This is what second hand smoke does to your PC. Edited June 7, 2011 by abferm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abferm Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I wonder how much of a performance increase did cleaning them up make :P In the case of the smoker's computer, it was too late to see. The nicotine had clumped the dust in the processor's heat sink, causing it to overheat and die :( . It is very hard to clean computers like this one when they come in. The nicotine and tar from cigaret smoke make a gummy mess that attracts dust and doesn't let go. We can't just blow them out with an air compressor like we do with the ones that are full of dust and/or roaches( :o Yes, people have brought in computers infested with roaches).
