Doing a favor for someone got me in this predicament. This has got to be the nastiest computer case i have ever opened up. Its not the dust that got me, the rest of it did. This thing lasted all of 3 minutes in the house.Click to view attachment

wow...thats horrible!

WHAT THA HELL??

is that a dead roach or something? what is all that?

LOL!! looks like they left it outside with the side off for quite a while lol. It doesn't take an expert to open that up and think "omg!"

Spider nest?
Lol

Roaches, That is the worst I ever seen, mine have some dust but not bugs.

looks like a bloody roach COLONY! woa, I can see how fast that flew out your windows ccoke!

OMFG That is pretty sick, people like that don't deserve computers, they think that all you have to do is turn it on and you don't have to do anything else; Kinda like people who never change any fluids in a car...
I bet you look at the guy differently now when you see him!!

How would they get in if the case is always closed? That is friggin disgusting.

thats just nasty. I hope it was sitting outside or something cause I wouldn't want that sitting in my house. if it was inside I don't want to think of what the rest of the house looked like.

Nope that was in a home. He got them for free and asked if i could take 2 and make 1. Thats a whole bunch of dead roaches in there. Still gives me the heeby jeebys.

wow...i think i might have had to call him back and tell him no can do. thats beyond nasty.

i have had a few dead fly and a few dead moths in mine but no roaches thank god

and as too how the got in its easy fan holes any little gap in the case ect... roaches love electronics becuase of the warmth so they tend to gather in clocks fridges micro waves ect...

i really must start taking my camera to work, some of the nasty pc's that i see would shock you,

none as bad as that but still nasty

you should make a joke about this something to due with windows and how buggy it is i just cant think of one. o and i cant even let a little dust go in my pc i have to clean it out anytime i open it which is almost everyday i like to look at my pc when all the lights are on and seeing how nice it looks inside and everyone that comes over is like wow never saw inside a computer before.

no way is that dust it looks like a nest of some sort that is bad

Yea its a bunch of roaches packed down there... (pun intended)

Does that PC function though? SERIOUSLY? That is some nasty port cloggage down there...

probably need more than Dr Watson to debug that system...


ba-da-dum-TSSSH!

lmfao

I dont know it didnt stay in my house long enough to find out.

So cokeman, did you have honors to clean it out?

Yep It went straight to the dump. It did not stop at go and did not collect $200.

ewww thats too dirty even for a dump man that thing looks like someone crapped in it.

I would have at least salvaged the CPU, and drives even in THAT condition...

It looks fairly recent, maybe Early P4/AXP?

BTW: Why didn't you just borrow someones air compressor and deploy an air nuke?

Did P4's come with ISA slots? (assuming thats what that is)

That's an AMR slot , which came on several early p4s and AXPs



I believe it's used for sound devices, and ISA and ISA-E use HUGE slots, with HUGE pins, that are 25% longer than pci slots, you'll know when you see one

No drives no nothing. Roaches can get into the gaps on the drives and lay eggs that will survive WWIII. If i ever end up hurting for parts that bad i need to quit playing with computers. I have the folding bug , i don't want roaches so i have a matched pair of bugs! It was a pIII if i remmember right.

Haha, ok, I can see why now

*Saluts to the wise man, heh, and we were about to get you to keep that computer and get your entire house get taken over by roaches

I learned the hard way. Brought them home from work once and took 2 moves and plenty of spray bombs in the moving trucks. I now have been free from that pest for 10 years. Thankfully!!

OOPS thats what i meant, AMR is used for low level sound and modem correct?

Hmmmmm... thats what you get for using a dirty OS like Windows, you don't see any Linux boxes getting like that!

Could these PC's have been in an 'industrial' setting originally, prior to you friend acquiring them?

Oh man have you guys never seen roaches????

We had a guy bring his pc in for repair at work.... we left it over the weekend. Cam back on monday. BAM!!!! whole display room was FULL of roaches... aaaallll over the place. So we basically applied 100 layers of plastic wrap around the thing, taped all around it, and threw it back at the customer. He had to pay the bug guy to clear out the joint.

Thats pretty manky had the odd moth in mine when it had the UV's in it but thats just living or should i say was
