So a friend of mine brought over his computer today, he got it from another friend who build a new computer for himself. An Inter dual core, 2gb ram, 3x 500 + 320gb hdds, and EVGA 8800GTS for free, not bad. So we knew from the start the guy smoked by the computer which earned his living for five years straight. By simply looking at the case I could tell it was bad.

But I will let you guys decide whether a pack of smokes is worth it.

Here's after we cleaned it up a little bit. A have to admit the Antec 900 is a really ****ty case for cable management especially with the 4 hdds we were putting in.

My god, I hope you were wearing a mask...

EDIT: You mentioned that this guy used this computer to "make his living". In the construction business, we take care of the things we use to make our living. This guy gives new meaning to the word SLOB!

Looks like he didn't dust it for five years either! I know people that smoke around their PC but they actually take the time to dust it out once in a while! Only difference here is different color of dust lol. Glad you got it cleaned up though.

Jeez. That is so disgusting. If that is what smoking does to a computer, imagine what it does to your lungs.

I would of taken everything outside and hose it all down then let it dry off.

If you are going to smoke, do it in a cordoned off area, or outside. Perpetual smoking is just outrageous.
