If the back of your computer looked like this from all the tar and
nicotine it inhaled, think what your lungs would look like. See URL for

that power supply is sure to stink up any room with an order that only a
smoker could love.

Hi!

I've seen worse. And I've thrown it in the dishwasher. :-)

There was a no-name clone that didn't make it into the house in one piece. I
wasn't going to put it on my service bench, not when I couldn't even see the
internals under all of that residue. The smell lingered faintly even after
dishwashing it. It was so icky, and the owner reported that he'd shoveled it
into a closet when it "stopped working". I fully anticipated that what I was
doing would qualify more as an "autopsy" than a "revival". Yet it did come
back to life without a hitch.

Later, I did a Dell machine the same way, although it was nowhere near as
bad. That one I made a video about, and posted it to Youtube.

William (yes, the signature line is correct, figured I'd take it for a quick
spin)
