Reason I said this bit off-handily is it takes MUCH to shock us and only three made the mentionable status.
At my TV shop there is MUCH dust floating around that the P-233mmx with JTS 1GB HD kept going filled with dust. I repaired PSU (recap) and blew dust out few times over the years. Still working 7 years later and due for one.

Re: The dust thread
Dust that was collected around the exhaust fan made my brothers Thermaltake Mambo case rust! *sighs*

Re: The dust thread
Yeah, we laughed hard at that too... The poor drive already had quite a few dead sectors, but hey, they sure got years of use out of it.Originally posted by doodComment

Re: The dust thread
No pics here but I clean out my PC's monthly. I have six dogs and six cats in the house with me. There just may be a few extra hairs floating around. Being that I'm a heavy smoker I too I always add as many fans as I can blowing into the rear of my PC cases. What I'm trying to do is blow so much air in from the rear so the PC isn't sucking cigarette smoke into the front of the case and the DVD drives. The PC is also up on the desk so its away from the few extra animal hairs.... My wife's PC is on the floor! It's that Free Hp Compaq that I just set up for her a week or so ago. I'm going to have to revisit it and make sure it isn't designed to be an animal hair tunnel fan."It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Re: The dust thread
Is the PSU in the last two images a Newton Power or Delta with Passive PFC? Almost looks like it.

Re: The dust thread
I had to work on a computer once that was packed full of dust. The bottom three-fourths of the case was completely full of dust with no room for air to flow. Somehow, that computer still worked. The problem it had was that Windows would freeze when accessing the floppy drive. It was an old Intel-branded Pentium Pro system running Windows 2000.Comment

Re: The dust thread
That was a long time ago but I remember it being a Delta 30,000 powered on hours at the time and all the Ltec caps were fine. Haha yeah that Intel heat sink was on a C2D E6300 1.86GHz
