Every day, it FORCES me to look at, download and redistribute porn. It's very, very dirty. :evil:

Surprisingly when I did a complete tear down of my year and a half old laptop it was rather clean. Just the usual dust on the heatpipe and fans.

pretty clean. no filters, but there's no enclosure around my motherboard, so I make sure to keep it as dust-free as possible.

after cleaning my pc out the last time, i decided to use some filters. This was achieved by taping bounce on the outside of the fans.

And your motherboard and videocard henceforth have been springtime fresh? :beer:

I'm pretty anal about dust and all that, so it's fairly clean. I have dust filters and clean it out every couple of weeks.

it's a little dusty, but not too bad
i get a new PC so often it doesn't get too much chance to get dusty :p
my last upgrade was a Soltek NF2 board and an XP2500+ Barton
it seems like it was years ago!

Stupidly clean & tidy; I just moved to a new case (stretches arms out luxuriously), so there's no hair or dust or other crud in there. Yet.
