  Oh, it was bad. Real bad.

      Looking into my trash, it’s more like half a bucket, the other half being crumpled paper towels.

      Sadly, I only remembered to take a single one before the process started.

      Warning for tech-gore, maybe? Again, I’m not a tech person. The back has always been partially open. This was built by someone else, and it’s… probably not standard.

        I would suggest to either remove the expansion slot cover or screw it back properly. As it is, it could probably fall and short something.

        Wow that is… Magnificent! I’m glad you de-dusted it but I’d be more worried about cables becoming disconnected while you’re trying to clean it.

        Glad it worked out for you though! Fingers crossed it continues to work🤗

        FYI the PSU box with those black shielded power cables is meant to fit internally in the big hole at the top 🤣
