Hi folks. I was assembling my PC the other day, and after I finished I noticed that I had some glitter/sparkles on my hands. These must have come off from a greeting card, and I even saw a few of them inside the PC. Do you think there is a risk that of these things shorting out something inside my computer? I tried to remove all those that were visible, but I'm not sure if I got them all.

Sorry for the odd question...just want to make sure I didn't mess up anything.

Anything is possible, but I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your hands weren't coated, it would be exceptional bad luck to to have one of those pieces get somewhere bad.

I agree with this. I dont think most glitter is made of conductive material. Id say youre fine.
