Got any, photos? For science.

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 🤣

Aye, forget the dust, this whole rig with the PSU hanging out is sketchy af. Also, the barely hanging expansion slot cover, waiting to short something with the slightest bump is also a nice touch.

Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!
Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho.
