I know what you mean. The atomized oil flocculates with the dust and creates a sticky materiel that doesn't just attach to the surfaces but actually adheres to it. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

In my experience the dustiest computers are owned by families with young kids. Young kids aparently shed a LOT of skin, and the dusty tends to be quite oily. Oddly enough, one of the cleanest computers I saw was an 8-year old Dell 8400 or 8300 or something in there, which was working fulltime in a metal shop. The owner was careful about his own health and had installed an air lock kind of thing (a small ante-room with a second door and intense weather stripping on both doors). The only thing odd I noticed was some red powder around the case. Very puzzled I asked if he'd maybe spilled some kind of chemical. He thought about it and then remembered that his kid had come in and was mixing powdered Kool-Aid and had spilled the powder over everything.

Yep. And don't you like how that oily goo seems to stick on everything near the fan? :( Capacitors and transistors I have found are really bad for it). -- "Hrrngh!
