Tar is what makes the dust stick to everything...pretty much kills computers due to insulating everything and making heat build up.

Machines like that are just disgusting to work on.

They are, but heard a horror story of a friend, she kept coming to some guys house to repair machines, each one died of that stuff. This is why smoking is bad, if it kills electronics...imagine what it does to you 
Yeah I like them too, got them on my case.
Yep, it certainly killed the power supply, might kill something else next. :/
Tell me about it. It stinks too.

Plus, mist and dust can killing computer. sometime but not always.
Too much dust will eventually kill it most probably.
Anyway, those PCs are gone now, owners picked them up this afternoon. Should be getting paid tomorrow for the work I carried out,

Push Pull exhaust I am going to say. Design of the 700D/800D is bottom to top airflow rather than front to back. Makes better use of the rising hot air, plus it allows for the compartmental design, with the HDD's fully blocked off by a solid piece of steel from the main compartment

When I usually work on a computer that I know the owner is a smoker, I put on a paper mask. And where hospital gloves (you know, the thin rubber ones). I am not a smoker and I try to stay away from that. And I clean the computer outside.
Yeah I was gonna put those gloves and the facemask and stuff on, but really it wasn't quite as bad as I expecting (I have worked on their PCs in the past and they were much, much worse than this) so I didn't bother. I still did it all in the garage though as I didn't want the PCs inside my house.
Thats pretty extreme. I might take it outside if it's super dusty, and just hold my breath while I spray it out. Hands can be washed off, it's not like it's not going to come off lol.
Yeah but it was NASTY moving that 9600 out of that horrible dusty machine into the newer machine, the card was caked in the sticky dust too and stank. Only reason I didn't wear gloves was because of ESD, but I somehow kind of doubt that wearing gloves would really build too much charge and damage the card.
Either way, I didn't really wanna touch that card. It was disgusting.

I've always loved front lights. My previous case had red ones, but I prefer blue myself.
No way, that's the EXACT case I used and still have but the LEDs were blue!

The AP is going downstairs hardwired to the Router through the floor to run my sisters laptop, my mums desktop and my secondary laptop, and the youview box which runs off of a Netgear Universal Ethernet Adapter.
Upstairs hardwired is my Desktop that needs to be built! Plus a Wireless HP All in one.
The AP runs over Power Over Ethernet, with cat5 laid through the floors, embedded into the walls and connected through faceplates on the walls, this is the same for my desktop. All cat5 in my room plugs into 1gang single/double faceplates
