I’m surprised it was even able to run without shutting off due to overheating.

Did you work out why it was slow?

Let’s be honest, it’s just age.

Smoking and dust, hell of a combo. Wear mask and don’t wear good pants, don’t make my mistake heheh

there are a few videos online showing how to go about a PC like this.

Hey, that’s a great looking stick you got there. Where’d you find it?

Perfect use case of those passively cooled PCs with external heatsinks.

because he murdered someone, then shoved them into the tower and let them decompose over several decades?

Hi sir, would you like some PC with your bucket of dust?

So I have a pretty dusty apartment. The dust issue is partly due to some construction that was done last year and it was already dusty before that. A film of dust can form on surfaces weekly. I keep expecting to find my pc in such a dirty state as the computers I see on here. Yet even after a year and a half my current PC is not very dusty at all. Basically I’m shocked how some PCs can get so dusty and dirty. Perhaps in 5 years my PC might look like that… crazy

It’s probably a 12 year old pc and even if spit shined to perfection will run slower than a phone made in the last few years.
Probably time to retire old bessy and get a new one

Kill it….kill it with fire

Had a customer with the most literally caked up system I’d ever seen. “Literally” because it was a pc located in a bakery mass production area.
Ended up just sticking it inside of a terminal (box on wheels) and putting a touch screen monitor connected to it (also in a shroud).

If you figure out the reason, please return and let us know.

Instead we are checking how it could run at all

Oh..so that’s where the origin of Covid is.

This is atrocious but I bet you my left nut that after a thorough cleaning, it won’t be any faster.

This reminds me of a post I saw on r/techsupportgore about a pc that was in a stonecutting shop.

Hmm, I wonder why?
