Oh man. I worked for Gateway PCs almost 10 years ago and I've seen it all. It's horrible. Even roach infested PCs. We'd have to stick 'em in a garbage bag and tell the customer to come and get it because it's a biohazard!

Last time I opened the case, the dust bunnies shut the door I figure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I did repairs for a local bank and some of the computers had dust over an inch thick on the motherboards and blocking the vents. Biggest complaint; the computers were overheating and shutting down! BIG SURPRISE!!

A couple decades ago, it wasn't a server it was a credit card auth machine the size of a PC. Opened it up and their was a mouse inside. This was a tough mouse because their were bone and skull fragments of other mice it had ate. Mouse piss, poop, and fur all over the place.
