Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Got enough comps? :P jk!

hehe. No kidding. Overall, I have 3 laptops, 9 desktops, 2 servers, 1 firewall box, 5 battery backups and 5 monitors. Pretty bad eh?

As for dust? Yeah, it will kill your computer. Let me show you something:

A client called me up, complaining that Windows was crashing. This is what I got. The harddrive quit, the CPU fan and PSU were both clogged. I ended up throwing out the drive, PSU and fan and replacing them. So...you decide. :)
 
You got me beat on that one. Thats worse than anyone thats been brought to me, that doesnt look like dirt I think its really growing. Did it have roots:D Oh by the way good to see ya back.

I had to literally scrape it off. It took me almost two hours to clean it.

That client will forever be on my mind. I did a huge favor for her. I gave her a PSU and fan free. I shovelled out her computer. I reformatted and reinstalled everything. I gave her a new drive. I charged her a fraction of what I would normally charge because she didn't have a lot of money, was home bound and the computer was her only source of contact with the outside world. Normally I would tell them to dispose of it and sell them something else.

A day after I delivered it to her, after waiting a month to be paid, she called me up, threatening to sue me and call the Better Business Bureau because she couldn't figure out how to get on Yahoo.

Interesting how it's always the ones you try and be good to that treat you the worst.

Was it dust or what? I have never seen that type of 'crud' before...

I have been threatened, cursed at, you name it, I've taken that to be part of running a business. I have heard the Better Business Bureau threats before, funny thing is the business I do some work for has received awards from them. I got a Emergency Service call one day and I paged on of the A/C technicians right after the call. And then that customer ended up receiving the "Final Notice", that I sent out 2 months later. The customers that promise early payment for quick service were the ones who caused the business to have 25,000 abstract dollars. I don't even wanna talk about stupidity in the Real Estate business, appraisers are crazy, and so are environmental health agencies that we have to take crap from....

And, yes that's usually the way it works out...
