When your computer routinely sends out a rooster tail of dust from the PS fans when started up, it is TIME TO CLEAN.

When your computer has 3 inch long dust bunnies inside of it, it is TIME TO CLEAN.

When you consider this normal to see when you open a box, you've clearly been working repair somewhere much like Wooster.

Look at it this way - do you really want these people opening their boxes to clean?

I'd settle for them vacumning the area around their stuff.

At least dust is a decent insulator?

Oh, right. You're trying to conduct heat away from the processor. Whoops.

Or Guelph. You can never defeat the dust in Guelph.

I must share a story, about when my sister was the IT for our local high school.

One of the machines stopped working. Externally, there was no reason for it to have stopped working. She went to open the case . . . the dust EXPLODED out of it. It was filled with a mutant dustbunny the size of the case.

This is also the lab where one of the computers caught fire.

Back when I was running OSU's 24 hour computer lab, there were layers of built-up dust inside the machines. It was pretty icky, and I was sure that some of the dust had been there since Desert Storm I.

...And that wasn't counting the stuff in the back of the lab that nobody dared touch. There was one very suspicious can of clam chowder sitting next to an old 6" monitor which I am pretty sure is still standing somewhere waiting to go Chernobyl.

There was also a kitchen knife back there, for no reason I could tell.

And there were punch cards built up from ages past too.

...Good times!

Ahhh, knives and worse in the labs. Plus Desert Storm I!

Way good times!
