Winter Computer Cleaning Anyone?
Today just so happens to be National Clean Out Your Computer Day. Something I should probably observe. Roughly 5 years ago I built a gaming PC and it still works like a charm, but I have so much junk...

I wish I would have taken pictures when I recently rebuilt my system. The old one looked much like Jay's picture, but probably worse. Living out in the sticks and on a road that has a lot of farmland makes it dusty around here, and having a cat doesn't make it any better.
Though I replaced the motherboard, CPU, PSU and memory, I reused everything else, including the case. This time, though, I added filter material to the intakes. I cut the material to size and used double sided tape to hold it in place. It's kind of ugly, but it keeps everything nice and clean. :)
The cat mention reminded me of this:

Hrm, didn't really do any winter cleaning, though, early spring cleaning and upgrading I suppose? Decided I would go custom water cooling again, repurposed a few 10+ year old parts, tried my hand at painting and failed horribly. The idea was to go for a bit of a resident evil theme, but meh. But, I did get it pretty clean, the amount of clorox wipes I went through to get all that tar filled dust off everything...
